KO-EMS: Zen Koan Meets Child’s Poem
SAME AS my songs, KO-EMS came in from some other dimension, unbidden. The circumstance was a six-week surgical recovery. As I lay about, these little poems popped into my head, one by one—stopping at thirty.
I named them KO-EMS because each seemed to combine the essence of the austere Zen KOAN—What is the sound of one hand clapping?—with the playful innocence of a children’s POEM—The itsy-bitsy spider climbed up the waterspout…
The result was two rhyming couplets that can both twist your mind and bring a smile.
Happy contemplation.

TRANSCEND ANTS: The Adventures of Abigail Ant
STAR ATHLETE, Abby Ant, has collapsed after losing a boulder carrying competition. Flat on her back, lost in despair, she notices a bird flying overhead. No ant in Hillville, set in a meadow without trees, has ever seen a bird before—because no ant has ever looked up to the sky for no reason. Enchanted, Abby decides to leave her colony and find out more about life.
So begins this seemingly childlike fantasy, a heroine’s journey that gradually opens up to become a quest for enlightenment. Filled with adventures, challenges, battles, intriguing characters, wisdom guides and spiritual teachings—yet without ever losing its innocent tone—Transcend Ants explores themes of meaning, purpose and awakening in a direct, accessible manner, simple enough for even an ant to understand.
Release date: mid 2026
Transcend Ants will be available once all the songs on Time Machine have been completed and released. Likely mid 2026.
