In my mind, music and devotion are so intertwined, so inextricably connected, one indistinguishable from the other. When the mind is so supple, in a state of gratitude, what springs forth is beauty, grace, music. With each note, the spirit arches upward, striving to express that inexpressible feeling inside – thank you, thank you, Oh thank you so much. My mind and body are all aglow, thinking about You, Your Grace, Your limitless bounty, Your infinite generosity! My art, my music, my writing, my dance are all but feeble attempts to express what I can never say in mere words. But my love for You has made me sing, dance, write, compose…in the most glorious way possible.

Oh Thank You for allowing my art to flower and flow out of me in the most graceful way possible. And this offering is what keeps me alive, joyful… ever thankful.
