Lyrics:

Met her at the station on a cold winters day 
Sounds of whistles blowing busy Monday 
You’d never have seen her if you weren’t late that day 
Alarm was set wrong night instead of dawn

Standing at the platform stressed and such a mess
She catches your eye sparks start to fly 
Turns out that she was late just like you
But it’s great to find comfort in this zoo

Don’t take it for granted
It’s a gift you don’t choose
Fragile thread of life will simply suffice

Shared a mango parfait at Cameo Cafe 
And before too long the wedding came along
Preparing meals in the kitchen
The scent fills the air
Looks after your son when you’re not there 

Spreads her beauty like a blanket over the hillside 
Scent of ambergris aged and defined
Something like a lullaby filling your ears
Singing a song no ones ever heard before

Don’t take it for granted
It’s a gift you don’t choose
Fragile thread of life will simply suffice

Teaching your son how to ride his bike 
When and when you shouldn’t 
Pick a fight 
Holding doors for ladies 
Pulling their chair 
That you should complement them 
On how they wear their hair 

Lessons in life come directly from you
A source of wisdom known by very few
In the blink of an eye life passes by
Down the aisle go your son and his bride 

Don’t take it for granted
It’s a gift you don’t choose
Fragile thread of life will simply suffice

Solo Piano.  Track 7  Pure of Heart

From the album  An American Quixote   (1999)

An American Quixote

Pure of Heart

This song paints a vivid picture of finding peace and escape in a cozy coffee shop.  

The gentle music, the aroma of coffee, and the murmur of conversations create a tranquil atmosphere. The speaker finds solace in this setting, symbolized by the "Café au lait Dream" This metaphor evokes the simple joys and momentary bliss found within the cafe's calming ambiance. 

The song uses sensory details to portray this idyllic scene while expressing a longing to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

are they not in thy book?

Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

We live in a world that often feels spiritually disorienting, where what we believe about justice and goodness doesn't match what we experience daily. This exploration of Ecclesiastes 8:10-17 tackles what we might call 'spiritual motion sickness'—that nauseating disconnect between our expectations of how the world should work and the reality we encounter. Just as physical motion sickness occurs when our eyes and inner ear send conflicting signals to our brain, spiritual motion sickness happens when wicked people prosper while the righteous suffer. The passage confronts us with uncomfortable observations: hypocrites praised in religious spaces, evil deeds going unpunished, good people treated as if they were wicked. Our culture offers two inadequate responses—empty sentimentality that ignores real pain, or crushing cynicism that sees only darkness. But the Teacher in Ecclesiastes offers a third way: wisdom that looks up to the horizon of God's ultimate justice while still enjoying the gifts of life here and now. This isn't naive optimism; it's resurrection realism. We're reminded that in Christ, we have a horizon shaped like a cross, where God entered our suffering, defeated death, and initiated a kingdom where all things are being made new. The cure for our spiritual motion sickness isn't having all the answers—it's keeping our gaze fixed on the North Star of God's promises, trusting that the arc of the moral universe truly bends toward justice, even when we can't see it clearly in the darkness.

Ecclesiastes | Spiritual Motion Sickness - Ecclesiastes 8:10-17 - Clint Leavitt

And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Drawing on his classical training, jazz and pop familiarity, Richard creates music thru an improvisational process.  His music has been called a soothing elixir for the soul, mind and body.

In 2016, composer/contemporary pianist Richard Carr moved to the Monterey Bay area of California after living in his native St. Louis area since 2005.  Richard spent 10 years working as a pianist in the night clubs, hotels and restaurants of the French Quarter of New Orleans prior to Hurricane Katrina.
