“Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.”

Timothy M. Ryan DDS. (AKA, Timules)
My music is caught somewhere between a poem and a song.
I grew up in my hometown of Omaha, NE. I attended high school at Creighton Preparatory and went to the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. Later I would attend dental school at Creighton University where I received my doctorite.
When I grew up times were different, not so much coming at you at once. Even then, I could tell my brain didn't work right, I was different. As I pause to reflect on the hell I went through having Bipolar disease, I never saw myself as a victim. But those ups and downs would bring me to my knees. Why I couldn't just stay manic was beyond me. Those highs can't be denied. Oh how I wish I could stay there! And sooner or later I would come crashing down. Those waves I rode were just so much for me. That wave would crest then come crashing down on me. No matter how much I fought back it just seemed to wear me out. School was hit or miss. When I was up, my life was everything I dreamed of. But that wave would crest and crush me once again. After years as a dentist, a songwriter is what I have become, telling my audience how I live in this man's world.
And so, I write as my life unfolds, line after line. It's a fine line if it's written in time!
