My dad passed away on New Year’s Day after a long battle with Alzheimer’s.

Music was always our connection. He taught me to play guitar and sing harmony. After losing him, I found myself returning to the simplest version of that connection… just me, an acoustic guitar, and my voice.

This episode is a reflection on grief, restorative practice, and what it means to keep showing up, even when it’s messy.

Part of the Dharma Artist Collective’s theme on restorative practice, this piece explores the idea that an honest take is better than a good one… and that sometimes three hours of failure can lead to a few minutes of something real.
