I wrote the first theme of this piece a couple of years ago and could never quite figure out how to finish it. There have been many iterations of it and it has been booted off of two full length records. I guess it always seemed to be a little island unto itself. Well anyway, what better reason than to put this out into the world than #PianoDay2017?

Happy #PianoDay folks.

Just as elephants remove obstacles instead of walking around them, our true nature is one of courage and determination, one that does not allow any obstacles to block our paths. Fear has always been man’s greatest obstacle – fear of failure, fear of acceptance. 

We're at the beginning of this journey. We’ve overcome.

Cover of McCoy Tyner's "Contemplation" (1967)

Contemplation (Rehearsal demo)

This is a song about the finger that points us to the moon constantly guiding us back towards it. 

It speaks to the Divinity that is all around us in everything at all times always directing us to a space of Infinity. The song aims to bring a sense of transformation (through Shiva Consciousness) from being “asleep” in the world of materialism to “awake” in the world of Divinity. It is a call to all aspects that reflect Divinity to continue guiding us towards this Infinity to our existence. 

Lyrics:
The Divinity in me
Sees heaven in you
So won’t you please walk with me?

The Divinity in me
Sees heaven in you
Please walk with me?

Softest touches 
Of the warmest moonlight
Bring me back
Brings me back

Softest touches 
Of the warmest moonlight
Bring me back
Brings me back

The Divinity in me
Sees heaven in you
Please walk with me?

The Divinity in me
Sees heaven in you
Please walk with me?

Softest touches 
Of the warmest moonlight
Bring me back
Brings me back

Softest touches 
Of the warmest moonlight
Bring me back
Brings me back
