One afternoon I was sitting on my back porch. It was an unremarkable Saturday. The sense of freedom usually associated with a day of fewer obligations was overtaken by an unsteadiness in the atmosphere. The weather felt refreshing at times, but there were periods of high heat and little air circulation. A confusing mix.

Eventually it began to rain. A keen watcher of clouds, I had spotted the smallest of formations in the distance: One mass of clouds had a slender bit of its structure pointing downward. I didn’t think much of it, as that kind of sight isn’t unusual, but I kept my eye on it, nonetheless.

I watched as it came closer. A few minutes later, hail was falling. I momentarily lost sight of it in the tree line. Once it became visible again, I watched it leap towards the ground and begin to rotate very loosely. It moved so fast that it was gone from my sight as soon as I could perceive the rotating form. I kept waiting for tornado sirens, but they never came. I ran inside to check for weather alerts, but nothing was reported. The next day I heard about some very mild damage to a property in a neighboring county. It seems that there was a tornado, albeit a very minor one that was not impressive on radar.

Like most of us, I love watching clouds. I welcome the clouds of sunny days. I welcome the clouds of stormy days.

I have so much material on the way. I commit to improving my skills every day as a guitarist, songwriter, and recording and audio engineer. I am also devoting more time to making videos for the music. So yes, this is a journey, and I would love to take it with you!
