about

May 29, 2020. Ursa is a strong, vibrant young woman. But now she lies on a hospital gurney, writhing. Her brain is bleeding; she is having a stroke. As her skull fills up with blood, there is nothing anyone can do but watch and wait.

I sense a dragon in the room, hovering above her. It is neither menacing nor comforting. It, too, is just watching and waiting.

As I sit with my child, all of time - her past, her present, and her future - condenses into now. Nothing else exists. We are here, in a quiet, profound peace.

Waiting for the tide to turn.

[Proceeds from sales of Red Tide will go towards Ursa's ongoing rehabilitative therapy]

lyrics

Red Tide.

Red tide rising
Rivers overflow
Child lies writhing
None can stop the flow

Dragon calling
Silent, voicelessly
Impartial guardian
Blind to hope and need

Can you feel them?
Fingers in your grip
Now and always
Nothing else exists
