This is my cousin, Michael. He’s pure love. Absolutely everything this man does and says is high vibrating pure love. Nobody is a stranger to Michael.

Five summers ago, I wrote “A Soft Place to Fall” in the guest room of my cousin Ed’s Bay Area home. This photo was taken a year later while filming the song’s music video at my friend Barry’s San Diego home, in his daughter Katie’s room. I wanted the video to look like my surroundings […]

“Do you have the patience to wait until your mud settles and the water is clear?
