Introducing “Poetry Hour”: a series of poetry readings featuring some of history’s most famous and beloved poems. In this first installment, I read “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost. I hope you enjoy! (Forgive my awkwardness and nervousness in front of the camera.)

Pray with Me: Holy Rosary (Joyful)
I had the idea of starting a “Pray with Me” series on my blog. Maybe it’s silly, but I’m hoping it helps at least one person find a little comfort or peace. In this video (the first in the series), I take a walk through the woods and pray the Joyful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary. You’re welcome to pray along. (Here’s a guide to the Rosary in case you’re unfamiliar with the prayers.)
Remain as the Child (Video)
A recording of a short poem I wrote several years ago. A friend had invited me to a poetry event, so I put together this poem the day before, but I never ended up reading it at the event. Time has passed, but I thought it might still be nice to share. Enjoy.
(Oops – I accidentally transpose the words “sun” and “moon” in my reading.)
Car Karaoke
My car is old enough that it has a built-in CD player. Earlier this summer, for my birthday, my brother got me a few CDs to add to my little console collection. Now I’ve got Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez sandwiched between a CD of my pianist-friend playing Chopin and the complete set of Beatles albums.
One of my favorite things about driving is putting on music and zipping around town (or even better, meandering down back country roads), letting the lyrics and melody transform the whole experience. It just adds a little magic to life, don’t you think? (Bonus points if you can identify the song I’m listening to here. Ignore how crazy I look.)
An Announcement
(Sorry, I’m a little awkward in front of the camera. I tend to ramble on and I talk with my hands a lot!)
A Wintry Walk
Prayer of St. Francis
Happy Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi. (Forgive the barely-there ukulele strumming and the slow tempo.)
