Album Description

I wrote this EP in May of 2023 as sort of an addendum to my previous album "I'll Meet You There." I felt like I had a little more to say on the subjects I explored in those compositions, and a new perspective on that period of my life that only time can provide. This collection of four songs are inspired by the four brahmaviharas. The first track explores my journey with compassion, especially my struggles with self-love and mental health. The second track is a loving-kindness meditation, sending wishes of loving-kindness to all things, and appreciating their interconnectedness. The third track is my re-approach to the subject of equanimity, recognizing the dissonances and challenges of life, but striving for understanding and peace of mind through them. The final track is all about joy, and specifically about my dog Jasper who embodies joy more than any other animal or person I've ever met. Nothing brings Jasper more joy than playing fetch, and he'll always want to play without stopping until his legs can't hold him up anymore. He's a great reminder of joy and I am truly a better person because of his presence in my life.
