Legend of the Light (mp3)
Composer's notes:
In many cultures and traditions, Inner Light is the ultimate goal of a spiritual journey. The Inner Light is the source of kindness,
compassion, limitless mind, openness and clarity. For those who have experienced the Inner Light, the act of living becomes the act of kindness
and compassion guided by a mind of clarity and openness.
Legend of the Light is a personal recollection of the inner journey towards the
Light in sounds. The journey towards the Light has been a journey from compartmentalized mind-set and feelings towards interconnectedness,
from noisy environments towards silence within noises, and from the states of clouded mental busyness towards clarity. The journey back is the journey with the
Light that brings peace and compassion to all aspects of daily life. Legend of the Light, on the other hand, is also an acoustic reminder that a Light exists within the chaos of our life.
