theme: Light is something that cannot be held or grasped, yet it has very real, physical effects: warming skin, shifting mood, changing how spaces feel. In metaphorical language, light often stands for awareness, hope, or inner life—intangible qualities that still “hit” us in a way the body can almost feel.

​“Keep Shining (Trust The Impact)” quietly plays with that paradox: an untouchable brightness that still leaves a tangible mark.

Caedis Suite  I - Fabula Caedis

Between Day and Night

The Vision of Awakening

Not by faith
Nor by words alone
But by seeing the truth 
Within your own

You’ll know these truths 
In threefold way
To know 
To do 
To be 
Each day

I saw the Truth 
Of Suffering clear
I knew it must be 
Understood here

I saw the Truth 
Of Cause appear
I knew it must be 
Abandoned, dear

I saw the Truth 
Of Ending near
I knew it must 
Be realized, sheer

I saw the Truth 
Of Path sincere
I knew it must 
Be followed
No fear

Only when all 
Twelve lights aligned
Did I awaken 
Beyond space and time

Only then did I proclaim
The deathless is found 
The unbinding flame

🔹 Meaning Behind “the Twelve Lights”

In Buddhist philosophy, twelve nidānas (links) describe how ignorance gives rise to suffering and rebirth.
The phrase “twelve lights aligned” symbolizes the illumination of these twelve causal links — seeing clearly how each arises and ceases.

They are:

1	Avijjā — Ignorance

2	Saṅkhāra — Mental formations

3 	Viññāṇa — Consciousness

4	Nāma-rūpa — Name and form

5	Saḷāyatana — Six sense bases

6	Phassa — Contact

7	Vedanā — Feeling

8	Taṇhā — Craving

9	Upādāna — Clinging

10	Bhava — Becoming

11	Jāti — Birth

12	Jarāmaraṇa — Aging and death

When the Buddha saw their dependent arising and cessation — the full turning of this wheel — he attained enlightenment.
So the “twelve lights” = twelve insights illuminated simultaneously.

The Vision of Awakening

Ed Buryn noted this message into his tape recorder (published in mid 1970s): 
Off The Tape CHACO CANYON RUINS
"Built and occupied hundreds of years before Columbus. Left by thousands of inhabitants when Europe was in the dark ages. 800 rooms in a lovely canyon lost in the vastness of the southwest. There was originally a stand of ponderosa and pinon pines in the canyon, and the Indians chopped down all the trees for roof beams inside the houses. When the trees were gone, the land wouldn't hold water any longer and they were faced with drought ... the entire site had to be abandoned. It's the same thing we're faced with now on a world-wide basis, except of course that we have nowhere else to go."
. 
These words inspired the lyrics and the music of my track.

Composing 50 years.  You will find every genre here.

A note about AI assist:

Regarding all my instrumentals, I composed the original works and possess the original manuscripts.  

My compositions are the source material, and for AI assist where used, I create the prompts and style instructions (which is time consuming and require hours of trial and error) at suno.com to produce the final version of the works which I feel are best. What you hear finally is at times the best of perhaps dozens of variations after much work is put in to produce the final outcome.  I try to find the right balance between what I composed originally, and what I envision is perhaps a better result with the assistance of AI.  I also aim for a realistic reproduction should live performance ever be a consideration.

For songs with Lyrics, I am the lyricist in every case, and the music is built from AI where I provide specific instructions as to style, genre, tone, key, and so forth. 

Some tracks are exceptions to the above descriptive process, and when this occurs that track itself will include how the track was developed in its description.
