Traveller (poem by George Wallace)
Traveller has few answers, fewer questions still
yet keeping vigil walks the Shenandoah hills
where ever-higher spires greet the rising sun
where temple-rivers drop to depths of souls unfound
and thus to last deliverance at the Shrine of God
smiling down radiant rays ‘cross darkened Traveller’s face
as hardened men will weep, so gentle forests shall rejoice
is it a curse or blessing gives us choice?
then in a twinkling of his tear-drowned eye
Traveller sees the secret of that outer reach
the sphinx at last reveals the How and Why
that was for age on age its sacred guard
his ship’s come home, the last great sanctuary
safe in the holy frontiers of his wandering heart

The poem set to music in the video version. Adapted from a poem written by Corinne Roosevelt Robinson 1861-1933
The Path that Leads to Nowhere
There's a path that leads to nowhere
In a meadow that I know,
Where a cooling river rises
And the stream is still and slow
There it wanders under willows
And beneath the silvery moon
Of the virgin silent shadows
Where the mystic violets bloom.
In the exquisite moment
In the exquisite moment
There's a path that leads to nowhere
Through a garden that I know,
Where a cooling river rises
And the stream is still and slow
There it wanders under willows
And beneath the silvery moon
Of the virgin silent shadows
Where the mystic violets bloom.
In the exquisite moment
In the exquisite now
Other pathways lead to somewhere,
But the one I love so well
Had no end and no beginning,
Just the beauty of the dell;
There I find my fair oasis,
And with carefree feet I tread,
For the pathway leads to nowhere
And sky-blue is overhead.
Exquisite Moments
Exquisite Moments
All the ways that lead to somewhere
Echo with the hurrying feet
Of the struggling and the striving,
But the way I find so sweet
Bids me dream and bids me linger,
Joy and Beauty are the goal;
On the path that leads to nowhere
I have finally found my soul.

Lapsed into Silence
by Andrew Lahiff
This music is like breathing itself and probably just as necessary. Lahiff’s work is fairly new to me, but regardless-it is timeless, sublime, and holy beyond any spoken language. Magnificent music.

Such delicate eloquent power does this music have! With brilliant use of high harmonics in the chord structures and floating, laserlike beams of sound heard only in Heaven, I am taken to a New Beyond.
