From Inside the CD:

The Ocean brought all life to this planet. The Ocean is the great mother of the watersheds of earth - without which we could not live. The oceans of the world touch every continent, every people, every culture on our planet. They accept us all regardless of color, custom, language or belief.

Much like the ever flowing rivers of the world, we take on different names and forms until we are ready to go home - to the place we began - our One Source - the Ocean of Being where life can always begin again with hope, love and life. These are my tone prayers and sound poems offered up in honor and respect of the wisdom of the ocean waters. This music served to heal me and revive me from the devestating hurricane seasons of 2004 and 2005 where we lost our home - so I dedicate them to all who are in need of peace, tranquility and healing in times of struggle, transition and transformation. Breathe, release, listen and let go.

Although all pieces are instrumental â the listener can follow along the meditative journey of self-discovery through the liner notes:

SURFACING
Arising from the deep,
I find myself floating
in oceanic bliss.

OPEN WATER
As far as the eye can see,
There is simply sea...
I am free.

MOONLIT SEA
Moonlight dancing on
endless ocean,
shimming diamonds
in candlelight.
I am lost in beauty...

FINDING FOREVER
I drift in dreamlike silence
breathing in this spaciousness
from which we come,
and to which we return,
touching and finding forever.

DIVING DEEP
I dive deep, over my head...
into the endless depths of the sea,
exploring the expanses lying
below the surface of me.

OCEAN
Peace moves in waves here...
No worries, no fear...
only oceanic awareness,
being and bliss.

ANOTHER WORLD
Deep beneath the surface
there lies another world...
intimate, yet wholly other...
I lie suspended in vastness
as all I think I know, melts away...

TRANSFORMATION
Boundaries dissolve,
heart beats on...
Emptiness dances me anew...
Cleansed, renewed, transformed,
I am no longer who I used to be.

REMEMBER
Remembering, I quietly
fall into memories of
other places, times and journeys...
yearning once again...to be...

IN SEARCH OF HOME
There is an ancient
echoing in my heart,
voices of ancestors,
calling me home...
An inward yearning takes hold,
and I begin again.

HORIZON
Off in the distance,
there are dolphins jumping,
birds singing, as I sense a new day,
a new life and a new world,
realizing new life lies
on the other side of forever.
