VESPERIA, which was commissioned specifically for vespers service at the Holliston church, is divided into four parts of gracious & serene electronic ambience. The disc concludes with a scored reading of a poem by Lisa Louise Indish which perfectly sums up the inspirational tone of Vesperia. The music transcends religious sectarianism, however, and is intended as a soundtrack for anyone interested in the journey inward and the power of thought. It was directly inspired by the writings of Ernest Holmes, Florence Shinn and Raymond Holliwell.
 

“Vesperia Epilogue”

The sun is rising.
I feel It touching my face.
It is Source.  It is God.  It is You.  It is me.
Warmth penetrating my being.
My steps reach out with toes aligned to earth,
Knowing it is where I must go
And there I Am.
Breathing, Breathing, Breathing,
Inhale – Exhale.
I am ready to receive and yet ready to let go,
You are All, this I feel and know.
I walk Your paths so carefully cleared.
I see what I need, want and desire.
It all stems back to You.
Circles.  Spirals.  Roundness of woman, of life,
It never ends.  It continues.
It draws, colors, creates and then re-creates
What It wishes without question or wonder.
As I send out I await Your response.
It comes gently to my ears
As a caressing wind,
A leaf cascading to the ground,
and I am filled with here and now, joy and love,
tomorrow and today.
And in this moment I am blessed.
As I breathe in what I long for, I receive.
I embrace You and I thank You.
