about

Composed in Yowrie, Australia, November 2013.

This song was written for a friend who was struggling with alcohol and drug addiction. It's also a tribute to Mohandas Gandhi, whose focus on working with one's own mind and heart as an experiment towards finding true inner peace, has inspired me deeply. His faith in what can be felt but not seen is heard in the audio excerpts from a 1931 recording of Gandhi reading from his article "Spiritual Message (On God)":

"There is an indefinable, mysterious power that pervades everything. I feel it, though I do not see it."

"I do dimly perceive that whilst everything around me is ever-changing, ever-dying, there is, underlying all that change, a living power that is changeless, that holds all together."
