These songs are stories. Each story drew me toward a musical style – Andean pipes, Beethoven, Klezmer, rock – that would illuminate it and bring it to life. Wonderful musicians helped me. In some songs I reinterpret ideas from ancient traditions in light of science. I play with the border between science and spirit. I only speak of God metaphorically. As Alan Watts once put it, describing God is like painting a sun on your window that blocks out the sunlight.
