I like Mozart because his music is just incredibly beautiful. He makes genious look easy. I like Bach because his music is well made. Its complicated and crafted with a mastery of counterpoint that is to this day almost unmatched. And I probably enjoy improvising the most because it feels like having a conversation with God. (Thats the first part of the back story on the song "Walking in Paradise".)

This ethereal piece was
inspired by the photographic work of John B. Gynell (www.korateo.com)
John has captured the incredible almost mystical blue of the seas in
South Florida. To see his fascinating work and listen to the

Cosmos I was inspired by
the incredible majesty of star formations in our universe. The power and
presence of distant galaxies, nebula and star clusters are reflected in
this majestic brass fanfare. Our thanks to NASA for permission to
use these photographs.
These extraordinary
photos of the forest became the source of inspiration for this solo
piano piece.
Who I'd like to meet: I'd like to meet people who really love what they do, people who enjoy a good conversation, people who like to laugh, people who take responsibility for their life or are at least walking in that direction. People who take action to bring their dreams into the world.

It is a rare and beautiful gift to uncover, that every moment contains within, the possibility to start anew. Here we are traveling in a perpetual fountain of new beginning. Despite anything that was ever said or done before, this unattached and uninhibited moment is total and complete freedom to pick up the pen and write this story any way you wish. You are not limited by anything. Every moment, every day contains the promise and possibility, to perform acts of kindness, to help those around you and to lift ourselves up into a higher place.
Every day is a blessing, every moment is a gift. I give thanks for the chance to share these moments and gifts with you. ~R~
Living your life through Gratitude, is not one of comparing how you are better than someone else; or Gratitude only for what you own or obtain or achieve. Living your life through Gratitude, is standing still and seeing that the world would be missing something very valuable if you were not in it.
You truly are a gift to this world! I am so blessed to have you in my circle of friends!
“Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. ” “If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.” ~St. Francis of Assisi Wishing you a peaceful Day!!
The heart is like a flower - unless it is open it cannot release its fragrance into the world. The fragrance of the heart is made up of the qualities and virtues of our spirit. Most of us have learned how to keep our heart closed in a world that would trample all over us if we let it. Being open hearted today seems to require tremendous courage. It is a courage which comes only when we realize that no one can hurt us, no matter what they say or do. They may hurt our body, but if we have realized we are spirit, nothing outside can touch us, if we so decide. ~Brahma Kumaris
Identification with your mind creates an opaque screen of concepts, labels, images, words, judgments, and definitions that blocks all true relationships. It comes between you and yourself, between you and your fellow man and woman, between you and nature, between you and God. It is this screen of thought that creates the illusion of separateness, the illusion that there is you and a totally separate "other." You then forget the essential fact that, underneath the level of physical appearances and separate forms, you are one with all that is.
What a beautiful composition Joy is. It, as many of your others, must have been divinely inspired. I look forward to listening to more of your music. Thanks for spiraling up my morning with that magical piece (peace).
