In this episode of Heart Work, Maureen interviews Steve Shikaze. A semi-retired environmental engineer, Steve’s been playing guitar and singing throughout adulthood, and recently begun a songwriting journey. He performs his song Times Like These. Written from a visual prompt in a songwriting group, this song offered Steve an opportunity to reflect on the loss of his father in April 2025.

Steve also makes cool digital artwork mapping watersheds of the world. You can find his work here: https://thewaterdroplet.substack.com/about
