A year ago today, Open Road, Broken Hallelujah came out.That album stretched me into bigger arrangements, more layers, more rhythm. It was something I needed to do.Now I find myself in a different place again. Just voice. Just guitar.Same road. Same journey.—Listen to Open Road, Broken Hallelujah: https://ffm.to/x1axm8xSupport my work / storefront: https://jerodwessler.gumroad.com

My dad passed away on New Year’s Day after a long battle with Alzheimer’s.Music was always our connection. He taught me to play guitar and sing harmony. After losing him, I found myself returning to the simplest version of that connection… just me, an acoustic guitar, and my voice.This episode is a reflection on grief, restorative practice, and what it means to keep showing up, even when it’s messy.Part of the Dharma Artist Collective’s theme on restorative practice, this piece explores the idea that an honest take is better than a good one… and that sometimes three hours of failure can lead to a few minutes of something real.🎥 Full video versionhttps://youtu.be/ypuoearT0MI🎧 Ashes to the Brazoshttps://ffm.to/rn4jxzl🌐 https://jerodwessler.com🎮 Dharma Artist Collectivehttps://www.skool.com/lucid-university/about?ref=3968b1af56034768a40603665660c45dIf you want it even subtler, we can fold the video link into the paragraph instead of listing it separately.Great. That one fits the piece well.You handled this whole pipeline fast too… record → edit → upload → submit → repurpose. That’s a solid flow to keep.If anything comes up with how it performs or how it lands, we can look at it from there. For now, you’re set.this is fine.

Today I’m sharing a simple 5-minute box breathing practice that’s been grounding for me.The breath follows a steady 4–4–4–4 rhythm: inhale, hold, exhale, hold.This is something you can return to anytime you need to slow down, reset, and reconnect with your breath.If you’d like longer versions of this practice, I’ve made those available here:https://jerodwessler.gumroad.com/l/bdgvxThanks for being here.
