I forget how i got here because i opened the link a few weeks ago. Just a beautiful and heart touching interview. Shimmering with hope and thankfulness through and through. Many thanks and much love.

joy is the happiness that doesn't depend on whats happening (we can be joyful in saddness) 

Autumn Colors

We're delighted to share the second single 'King's Cross, After Dark' from @petraleksander's upcoming record Collage. The piece can be imagined as a reflection on the tranquility that descends on the famous central London station when the day is over and the city sleeps ; the upright piano that graces the concourse plays a nostalgic melody, accompanied by sweeping string lines...

I've been recording this piano record in my living room with a lovely American made Charles Walter upright piano that I found on Craigslist - or maybe it found me - but this record captures three weeks in June when I create some compositions with it and added a few string parts as well.  Enjoy.

Provenance

Mysticism is the birthright of every human being, says Br. David Steindl-Rast. He speaks of the anatomy and practice of gratitude as full-blooded, reality-based, and redeeming. Now in his 90s, he has lived through a world war, the end of an empire, and the fascist takeover of his country. He was an early pioneer, together with Thomas Merton, of dialogue between Christian and Buddhist monastics. He’s also given a TED talk, viewed over six million times, on the subject of gratitude — a practice increasingly interrogated by scientists and physicians as a key to human well-being.
