This life is fleeting, beautifully tragic, over before we know it. In the end all we have is love and oh my god, it’s right in front of us. for Daddy, our Fisherman 🎣🪽♾️ Directed by Me Cinematography by directly_chance 1st AC & Loader @jusstawall Edited by me with @knightlybird by my side the entire time 16mm scans by @preservefilm I shot the 8mm stuff and scanned it with the nicest guys at @originsarchival Some clips are from my dads music video “Fisherman 3” from 1994 that no one could find a copy of except the editor(!), George Bellias, had the VHS tape in his garage. From 1994!!! Archival footage by our friends and family; Uncle Gary, Uncle Jerry, Uncle David, Uncle Bob, Stacy Taylor, Mike Reno… A few iPhone shots from @davidspiro from their fishing trips in Whitefish, Montana & Henry’s Fork. I’m so grateful to my little sister @knightlybird for writing this song, these words & melodies are the sounds of my heart strings.

Grief alters your brain chemistry in undeniable ways. I wrote this on my stories last week and was delighted to find out so many of you are also in your burnt-the-rice era. The road is brutal but it’s blessed.🕯️

2 years. I miss and love every fucking thing about you. The way you lived life close to the bone, deep in the guts, never played it safe. Keep guiding me, Dad. Keep pushing me through. I can’t wait to be singing with you by a river somewhere. “We were born to die but we learn to fly when the Kingdom Come” -Mark Spiro

My sister Ruby. Born today with the moon in Aries. She’s a long-limbed, gentle-handed, sweet-voiced, singing psychic. The kittens know who to sit on, the ailing know who to cry to, the writers know who to create with, the friends know who to laugh with, when I’m speechless and broken, there is only one person who finds the right words and prayers. She won’t turn her head, she won’t look away and leave you in the dust. She knows how to take you in her warm embrace and fill you with light to carry forth into the dark night. Her grace and devotion blows my mind every day. She is my safe person, my safe place, my soul mate, and I could never, ever, have survived this past year without her. God blessed me with her influence and presence. Oh Ruby, my red diamond of fire, my taller little sister, I look forward to eternity together, Happy Birthday🕯️ @knightlybird

l’m singing through the feeling. I’m eating the honey nut squash because the earth told us to. I smell sap from the backyard Torrey Pine on my doggies paws. The nooks and crannies of a pomegranate remind me there are more and more and more seeds hiding. In the kitchen, chopping herbs, l’m surprised I can still recite Ophelia’s speech “There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance, pray you love, remember.” How could I forget how nice it is to notice the season change? 🌾🎞️
