about

About a week after the angels had departed, I was in the kitchen making coffee and thinking about the mysterious presence of the angels.

While I was in the kitchen by myself, these words came to me. I recognized them right away as the final gift from the angels, the last piece in the Angel Project Suite. I thought at first that it was a poem, not a lyric. The music did not come to me right away. But then, some weeks later, I found myself singing the lyrics to this melody. "Aha," I thought, 'it IS a song."

I went to the piano, sat down and recorded the melody, so that I would not forget it. After about a week, I went back to the first recording I made. I had thought that I would use that initial recording just to jog my memory, but in fact, the piano part on this recording is that first recordingn I made. I simply added the vocals and other parts around it.

Since the angels visited me in February, I've had several occasions to wonder at the turn of synchronous events surrounding their visit. I continue to be amazed and grateful for the mysterious ways in which the angels imparted their help to me. Now I know, all that is necessary is to ask the angels for assistance. We are surrounded by angels who wish to help us at all times.

lyrics

I believe in miracles

The ones not yet fulfilled

The ones that never happened

The ones that never will

And I believe in hope

I choose hope over fear

Even as I shuffle

Through the fog of waning years

Weaving toward the chasm

Stumbling toward the deep

I'm drunk on holy water

My chant is I believe
