Inside water, waterwheel turning Stars circling the moon Those who live in the shadow of nightfall Those who ride upon the winds I watch you circle around and around A Thousand secrets in your flight With eyes that see the enormity of things Sound shadows falling from light Storm pond bird Flying high and far Your strong wings carry you Through the turning night of stars You fly as the earth turns, resting on the sun A prayer flies upon your wings In the still of the night you are lifted into light Disappearing like the air You are the silence thought and the vine Turning night into day Your wings enfold all the branches of the tree You are the lift and the falling away Storm pond bird Flying high and far Your strong wings carry you Through the turning night of stars

about

About the music...

Dayala, Sharinam and Narayana are personalized interpretations of Vedic and Sanskrit chants from India.
The Mourner’s Kaddish is a reimagining of the Hebrew prayer. ‘Bela’ is influenced by traditional Eastern European folk music and named in honor of composer Béla Bartok.
Shivoham is inspired by Manish Vyas’s original song of the same name (on 'Sattva', White Swan Records).
Several of the tracks began with guitar-like harp arrangements with effects processing influenced greatly by bands such as Pink Floyd and Zeppelin.
Storm Pond Bird was originally written by Diana Trimble and Kalonica McQuesten (Elbows Akimbo). The song title and the harp parts remain the same in this version.

Huge thanks to Alex Stahl & Ethereal Donkey Productions for his unending dedication and talents in making this CD a reality.

Special thanks to Jeff Obee (bindi photo), Vince Caro and Nancy Kaspar
