the broomwatr.com concept is simple; find amazing artists, musicians, philosophers, poets, and kind people, and make a place outside the tick tock swipes and the insta-glams, and just dig into something real, created by real people, from god-knows-where it comes from, just fucking revel in it for a minute. maybe help each other out, and make a space for all the potential yet unleased. but for me its more than that.
i'm working on being in awe of human creativity, and to find it more in myself and others. music and art especially have this power, and more than ever we need good people inspired and focused, faces turned up from the lights of our phones enough to see the horizon and whatever it brings. no pressure 😎
the site beta launch has gone well so far since August, we are moving into phase 2 which is more robust addition of content, including several new musicians, and some new content contributors coming very soon! site traffic is humble, but steady and growing. as a passion project, no revenue is generated by this site, nor are the any current plans. for this site, i want to share, find, listen, see and be inspired. and share all of the wonderful art, music, poetry, philosophy, and creativity we can muster together. if you like what i'm doing, join more with me and help spread the word. in the meantime...
i've decided i'm going to try and be a magnet for people who are ok with not knowing or having all the answers, but are seeking and asking, always...here is one for the road I wrote a few years ago, called body & mind, in that vein...none of us have a straight path.

body & mind

To find to find to find to find
Solace in a broken line
A way a way a way a way
Note and spark and song to play
A hand a hand a hand a hand
Curled so tight to grasp at sand
A head a head a head a head
Smash unto some monster dread
A heart a heart a heart a heart
Gristle stop oh poisoned dart
A mind a mind a mind a mind
Glassy smooth reflecting time
A breath a breath a breath a breath
Sweet delay on dark of death
An eye an eye an eye an eye
Blink and miss a last goodbye
To seek to seek to seek to seek
Love and loss and light unique
To find to find to find to find
Solace in a broken line
