1 The Lennon Song 3:17
A song about universal love written through the eyes of John Lennon.

2 Deep Blue Sea 4:59
The reward for facing down existential fear is a passionate merging into the aliveness of the present moment.

A song written for my step-daughter as she crested adolescence. Ambivalence is written large in teenagers, but exists in all of us.

4 Time Runs Away 4:53
"Time runs away like a kid with a stolen pie, and try as you may You'll never catch this guy." Time stays one step ahead.

My mother's true story of growing up in Germany during the Nazi era, and never believing the holocaust was real.

6 Tornado 4:46
A mid-western child's view of a tornado as the outward reflection of his family's inner struggles.

7 Dark Matter 5:11
The elusive nature of the universe is a siren song to those who wish to understand its mysteries.

8 Falling 3:56
Not knowing evokes a liberating trust fall into the life we have left. A song about letting go.

9 Window 4:01
A love song for my wife Kathy. I see life clearly through her eyes. Everyday, I trust and rely on what she sees.

10 A Drop of Time 5:20
The place where the river of longing flows to the sea. The soul surrenders and returns home again.

11 Fear and Love 4:38
A courageous act transforms fear into love.
