Lyrics: 

From Where Does Wisdom Come	

Wisdom flows from many streams,
Life's rich tapestry of dreams,
From moments lived and lessons learned,
In every triumph, every turn.

Through quiet reflection's gentle grace,
In contemplation's sacred space,
We find the threads of deeper knowing,
Where seeds of wisdom start their growing.

In voices of the wise and old,
In stories shared, in truths retold,
We gather pearls of ancient lore,
To guide us on life's shifting shore.

Knowledge gained through study's light,
Books and tomes, both day and night,
Yet wisdom's more than facts and figures,
It's insight gained through broader triggers.

Intuition, a silent guide,
From depths within, where truths reside,
A whisper from the soul's own core,
Leading us to understand more.

In faith and spirit's tender touch,
In sacred texts that mean so much,
We find a wisdom pure and bright,
A beacon in the darkest night.

Compassion's heart, empathy's gaze,
Illuminate our chosen ways,
For wisdom blooms where kindness grows,
In every act, in love it shows.

Through trials faced and battles fought,
In challenges, our wisdom's wrought,
Adversity, a teacher true,
Forging strength from what we knew.

So wisdom comes from varied streams,
In life's rich weave, in quiet dreams,
A gift of time, of heart, of mind,
A treasure in our souls we find.

What Is Love? (Opus) is a cinematic western-soul anthem — a track that asks and answers the question of love with grandeur, grit, and grace. Built on a foundation of piano, tremolo guitar, and upright bass, the song grows into a widescreen soundscape with bold brass fanfares, gospel-tinged choir shouts, orchestral strings, and the haunting voice of a nyckelharpa weaving through the mix.
Lyrically, it strips love of clichés and offers it as action — a vow, a daily choice, a bridge that binds many into one. Its message is universal and secular, written to inspire: love is not just a feeling, but the courage to rise, to stay, and to rebuild.

This is not minimalism — this is a soul anthem at the edge of a western horizon, full of drama, heartbreak, and redemption. The choir and brass don’t just support; they lead the emotion, creating a track that feels as vast as the desert sky and as intimate as a single hand extended in kindness.

For Curators: What Is Love? (Opus) combines the emotional weight of gospel with the cinematic sweep of orchestral soul. It is motivational, inclusive, and timeless — a track designed to resonate in playlists and on radio alike, where its hook, “Love is a verb, a vow, a way — Do. Stay. Rise.” becomes both mantra and refrain.

Saints Don’t Cry

Sigh

Tangled in the Sheets

Every breath turn soft, sincere

World slow down, I see clear
I don’t fall, I just steer
You make me weightless

Weightless

"The Monkey, the Cow, and the Crown Jewel" is a musical journey into a profound spiritual paradox from 13th-century Japan. Inspired by Nichiren Daishonin's letter, the Urabon Gosho, the song tells the story of Lord Jibu, a priest described as lacking wisdom and dignity—like a "monkey or a cow". Yet, he is praised in the highest terms.  

Why? Because his one redeeming quality is his simple, unshakable faith in the Lotus Sutra.

This orchestral folk-rock epic explores the theological concept of "derived sanctity." It's not about our own perfection, but the power of the ultimate truth we hold dear. Through the powerful metaphors of a "snake holding a gem" and a "dragon guarding sacred relics," the song builds from a sparse, intimate confession into a soaring anthem for the imperfect. It is a testament to the idea that pure faith is the one jewel that can make any flawed vessel sacred, transforming a life of shadow into a source of brilliant light.  

(Verse 1 – The Lament of the Flawed Vessel)
[sparse fingerpicked guitar, Hammond drone] Not one of two hundred fifty precepts kept, Three thousand rules of conduct, all unkept. My wisdom’s dull — like a horse or a cow, A monkey’s dignity is all I’ve got now. A broken vessel in these latter days, My strength’s a whisper, lost inside the maze. No merit gathered, nothing I can claim, Just a flawed old priest who barely speaks his name.

(Chorus – The Pivotal Faith)
[add upright bass, soft brushed snare] But nevertheless, my heart holds one thing true: I revere the Buddha, and the Sutra too. My only treasure is the faith I hold — A story for these latter days retold. For broken vessels shine with borrowed light, And in devotion, find their sacred might.

(Verse 2 – The Sacred Metaphors of Derived Sanctity)
[slide guitar enters with call-and-response] I’m like a serpent with a priceless gem — Its light redeems, though it’s not mine, but them. A dragon guarding relics, pure and bright, My being changed by the Dharma’s light. The jewel is perfect, though the snake may crawl, Untouched by mud, it sanctifies us all. My hands are empty, yet I guard the Law — The greatest treasure this world ever saw.

(Chorus – The Pivotal Faith) But nevertheless, my heart holds one thing true: I revere the Buddha, and the Sutra too. My only treasure is the faith I hold — A story for these latter days retold. For broken vessels shine with borrowed light, And in devotion, find their sacred might.

(Bridge – The Boundless Promise)
[choir harmonies swell, organ opens] A wisteria vine around a mighty pine, I climb to heights that never could be mine. My strength may fail, but clinging to this grace, I’ll save my kin and find their sacred place. For seven generations, I can bring them peace, A fine jewel of a grandson — granting release. Through faith alone, I soar on borrowed wings, And hear the song the Tranquil Heaven sings.

(Outro – The Mantra of Faith)
[fade with gospel humming — mantra-like repetition of “borrowed light…”] The monkey, the cow, and the crown jewel bright — A flawed man’s faith in eternal light. The monkey, the cow, and the crown jewel bright — Borrowed light becomes my own tonight.

The Monkey the Cow and the Crown Jewel

📖 November 1 — The House of Mirage

Today, the house was alive again.
The air carried the scent of herbs and roses, as if the walls themselves were breathing.
Keta’s hands opened hidden paths, Kyrie’s touch sounded like drums made of light,
and Mira let the flowers dance in the warm water.

I sank into the bath and everything went still.
Time lost its shape.
Tears turned into small crystals,
and somewhere between breathing and silence,
I felt whole again.

When we came out, Merlin was waiting with six steaming cups of hot chocolate.
We laughed — soft, glowing laughter —
and it felt as if the universe had paused
just to watch us be sisters.

In the House of Mirage,
everything heals
that dares to be gentle.
