Our Lord, you bless everyone
    who lives right

     and who never do wrong
    or turn from you.

Clearing Relief

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...

Summer Peace

Consider how the wild flowers grow. 
They do not labor or spin. 
Yet I tell you, not even Solomon 
in all his splendor 
was dressed like one of these

"Zephyr Dreams" is a musical narrative that draws inspiration from the Gospel passage of "Jesus Calms the Storm" in Matthew 8:23-27. This composition embarks on a profound exploration of the human experience, weaving together the elemental forces of nature and the transcendent power of faith.

The music commences with an orchestral depiction of a tempestuous sea, symbolizing the struggles and conflicts faced in life. The deep brass and intense percussion mirror the ferocity of the storm, while the strings and woodwinds introduce a sense of disarray through frenetic melodies and harmonies.

As the composition unfolds, it mirrors the moment when Jesus and his disciples are caught in the tempest, emphasizing the disciples' desperation and fear. The music crescendos to a climax, symbolizing the peak of the storm's chaos, and then suddenly, a shift occurs.

In a moment of divine intervention, the composition transitions to a serene and harmonious passage. The winds and waves, represented by the musical elements, gradually yield to a tranquil melody. It's as if Jesus himself has rebuked the tempestuous forces, bringing a profound calmness to the scene. Here, the guitar arpeggios and gentle strings evoke the image of a peaceful sea.

Ultimately, the composition concludes with a sense of awe and reverence, leaving the audience astonished at the power that can command even the most tumultuous forces of nature, as in the Gospel passage. "Zephyr Dreams" is a musical testament to the enduring power of faith and the serenity that can be found in the heart of life's most challenging storms.

The title, "Zephyr Dreams" encapsulates this transformative journey. "Zephyr" not only connects to The influence of Greek culture in the times of Jesus but also represents the gentle, calming winds that come after the storm's turmoil. It signifies a dreamlike state of tranquility that emerges amidst the chaos, mirroring the miraculous stillness that Jesus brought to the tempestuous sea.

"Zephyr Dreams" is not just a composition; it is an emotional and musical expedition, inviting the audience to explore the profound human experience of adversity, perseverance, and ultimate redemption through the power of music. This composition serves as a powerful reminder of the unwavering faith and the ultimate calm that can be found even in the midst of life's most challenging storms.

"Gentle Spark" suggests a small but gentle source of light that can bring comfort and hope in the midst of conflict. 

It's a metaphor that suggests a small but powerful source of light that can bring positivity and optimism to a situation. 

It can also represent the hope that the soldier's act of compassion brings to the enemy civilian, who may have been fearful and hopeless in the midst of the conflict. 

A very short song explores themes of compassion, empathy, and the human connections that can transcend war and conflict, while also conveying a sense of peace and tenderness.

It implies that acts of compassion was not only powerful but also gentle and nurturing, providing a sense of safety and reassurance to others.

Quantum Echoes

To the Elysian plain...
Where life is easiest for men. 
No snow is there, 
nor heavy storm, 
nor ever rain, 
but ever does Ocean send up blasts 
of the shrill-blowing West Wind 
that they may give cooling to men. 

Homer, Odyssey (4.560–565)

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
