First off, thank you from the bottom of my heart for checking out my photography and wood carvings. It is such an honor and privilege to know that you spent some of your valued time on this planet checking out my work! I began writing back in 2006 at the age of 22 shortly after my mother died unexpectedly from cancer. She was my rock and, at the time, I thought my only foundation. Over a decade before I was officially diagnosed with depression, I started writing under an alias because I didn’t have the confidence to write as myself or speak up. Eventually I found joy in photography and exploring God’s Great Outdoors and, now, I’m finding my ‘ voice’ carving designs into wood planks with inspirational lyrics from songs that have helped me heal. And I can assure you there is absolutely hope in the darkness because it there that God gave me the greatest blessing I could ever imagine: my amazing daughter who shows me love only surpassed by His peace and grace.

I truly hope that something you saw on my website brought at least a tiny ray of joy or hope to you! PLEASE feel free to send me a message at transientbyryan(at)gmail.com or shoot me a message below…I would love to hear from you! In a world that can feel overwhelmingly cold and isolated at times, a friendly interaction with another human can bring so much warmth and happiness to others.

Warmest regards from Minnesota, U.S.A.​,

Ryan

    Hey. I like your poem. Do you have anymore?I am a singer who just really has a hard time writing songs. I have a lot of idea but it’s hard to express my thoughts through my songs which is my ultimate goal. Maybe we could collaberate on something. Let me know. Thanks.
