GVGEYUHI (I Love You) You tell me that I don't say enough, that you need more than one word answers, that my words are too few and far between, my thoughts and feelings hidden from you. But let me tell you – that you are my breath, my life, and my hope. You are my dream and my passion. How appropriate that I tell you in a song that has no words, Gvgeyuhi – I Love You. |

HAND OF GOD Some think you are hidden and silent, that you may not care nor even exist. This cannot be for I see you and I hear you in everything - the song of the birds, the wind in the pines, the stars in the night sky. I see you. I hear you. You surround me. I am overwhelmed by you. The soft voice of my Creator, the gentle touch of the Hand of God. |

FLUME CANYON TRAIL Out my backyard and up the trail, just minutes to solitude and peace. When I walk up here I leave my worries and cares behind. I hear the water trickling down the canyon, I see the pines high above and higher still the deep blue mountain sky. Why don't I spend more time here? Why do I allow the world below to overtake me, when so close I can find quiet and rest, so close - just a few short steps from Flume Canyon Trail. |

CLOUD'S REST I hiked and climbed for hours on end, up and up and on and on. I went as far I as I thought I could go, up the narrow trail, beyond the steep rock face to the highest point that my strength would take me. When at last I could go no further, when I thought that I was the highest that I could get, I looked up and there far above me was another destination, another goal - that one day I might sit where the Cloud's Rest. |

AS THE DEER As the deer pants for water, so my soul longs after you (Ps 42:1) …Deep calls unto deep at the noise of your waterfalls; All your waves and billows have gone over me. …And in the night His song shall be with me – a Prayer to the God of my life (Ps 42:7,8). |

GYMNOPEDIE NO. 1 The hour is late. I sit alone in the dark, at the piano, the stillness of the night, the peace I feel inside me. Playing this song on the piano, playing this melody on the flute. Alone in the dark, the stillness of the night, the peace I feel inside me. |

INDIAN SPRINGS RANCH Oh wonderful you, nestled in the middle of Lone Pine Canyon. How you changed my life so many years ago. On your land I was given a new name, a new path and there my incredible musical journey began. I miss you and the people who were with us there. I wonder why the Creator took you away from us, why we no longer walk beside your pond, lie on our backs counting the shooting stars at night, why we no longer dance to the drum and sit at the elder's feet listening to their stories and teachings. If it is because we did not appreciate you enough let me say this now that you are behind locked gates – always remember that we love you and we will never forget you – our Indian Springs Ranch. |

INSPIRATION POINT This is where I go when I am struggling and feeling overwhelmed. I love to sit gazing out at the majestic peaks, watching the ravens soaring high above the canyons. On the clearest days I can see the sea far below. The thin clean mountain air, the tall dark green pines stretching towards the vast blue sky. The silence broken only by the singing birds and the cold rustling winds. I always leave here feeling cleansed, refreshed, renewed. And when I leave to return to my home in the canyon below, I know that the next time I am tired and broken, I will once again return here to my sanctuary, Inspiration Point. |

BESIDE STILL WATERS When I am afraid, when I am hurting, when I am feeling alone, I recite these verses over and over again from the 23rd Psalm. "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul" and… "I will fear no evil; for thou art with me" - for thou art with me, thou art with me, thou art with me. |
