This Is Richard Dobeson

Our Lord, you bless everyone
    who lives right
    and obeys your Law.
You bless all of those
who follow your commands
    from deep in their hearts
     and who never do wrong
    or turn from you.

There is a way to create peace in this world. Sometimes it feels as if there is not, that the cause is hopeless, but there is a way that we can achieve harmony on this planet.
We can choose to live our lives as demonstrations of our highest and grandest beliefs, rather than as denials of them.
I believe God is the First Step For Peace...

Ancient rock wilderness
Washed by rain and wind,
Open spaces, ethernal blossoms,
Blue Mountain, timeless witness

In that day the Mountains will drip new wine,

    all the ravines of Judah will run with water.
A fountain will flow out of the Lord’s house
    and will water the valley of acacias

The Lord is the everlasting God,

He will not grow tired or weary,

He gives strength to the weary
    and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
    and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint.

Summer Peace

The relationship of human beings with God had been lost
Because of man's sin, there was no way to reconcile.
It is for this reason that Jesus came to Earth
and became one like us, and sacrificed Himself on the Cross
There is a Bridge between God and men,
Only one Way to get to the Other Side of the bridge.
That Bridge is Jesus. Our Bridge to Heaven!

I'm the Way, the Truth and the Life. NOBODY COMES TO THE FATHER BUT IT IS FOR ME. (John 14: 6)

Largo (Italian for 'wide', 'broad'), a very slow tempo, or a musical piece or movement in such a tempo.

Largo also suggests heartfelt personal intensity, something so slow that the music’s heartbeat is almost suspended

There is something in that music that gives you an idea of the sense of life, of time, of eternity. It makes you realize that the person who wrote and play that music, and the person who listen it, are both together at the same time.

Each sound is like a breath, the silence between like the space between heart beats. This is music written for strings and orchestra. Largo.

Richard Dobeson’s Largo is a highly personal work. It is a single-movement song of calm and deep passion.

Where life is easiest for men.

Elysium Bliss

"Still Waters" is a mesmerizing Neo-Classical instrumental piece that draws its inspiration from the timeless words of Psalm 23. Like the gentle flow of a tranquil stream, the music ebbs and flows, creating a sense of peace and calmness that soothes the soul.

Beginning with delicate acoustic guitar notes and piano chords, the melody builds gradually, as if reflecting the journey of the psalmist, who passes from a place of uncertainty to a state of rest and security.
Soulful synth melodies paired with strings and haunting brass and woodwinds bring to life the image of the shepherd's rod and staff, bringing a sense of protection and comfort to the listener.

As the music reaches its climax, the soaring orchestration captures the essence of the psalm's promise of goodness and mercy that follow us all the days of our lives. And in the final moments of the piece, the music fades away, leaving behind a sense of stillness and serenity, just like the still waters that the psalm describes.

Overall, "Still Waters" is a beautiful tribute to the timeless wisdom of Psalm 23, and a testament to the power of music to evoke emotions and bring peace to the soul.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
     He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside Still Waters.
     He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
    for his name's sake.
Psalm 23
