In The Heart Of All Being [sound recording]

Description: MUSIC FROM THE MYSTERY OF SELF-DISCOVERY. Song-poems in a folk & country style, with intriguing arrangements of acoustic guitar, cello, violin, piano, bass and percussion. There is a secret behind what appears. It reveals itself in the most unexpected moments. The undeniable sense in the stillness of a summer's night that a star is looking back at you. A glimpse of something profoundly captivating in the space between two thoughts. An inexplicable occurrence of perfect peace in the depths of excruciating pain. Always, it takes you by surprise. The usual ways of knowing cannot catch it. Like a bird winging across the sky it leaves no tracks in memory. Yet it is unmistakably here, unmistakably real, more real than anything that can be known. And once glimpsed, even for an instant, there arises in the depths of the soul a hunger for it, a love affair with it that will not be satisfied by anything in this world. The songs offered here are born of this love affair. Each is an invitation to a love so mysterious and ruthless that it will not rest until all belief in oneself as separate from that Secret is stripped away, revealing beyond any possibility of doubt that it is truly YOU who looks back on a starry night, YOU that is present in the empty space between thoughts, only YOU that shines as the Heart of All Being.
