My youngest daughter spends most of her time "on the road" as a professional musician.  And every now and then, after a long time without dropping anchor, she checks in.  This song was written for her in my favourite style:  traditional 3-part acapella  ala Steel Eye Span.

The lyrics to this song are from the poem "Out Beyond Ideas" by the Sufi mystic poet, Rumi.  I found them on a greeting card in a Calgary boutique, scribbled them down, and eventually set them to music.
