"Passing Faces"

A song written nearly ten years ago, which, with a slight lyrical tweak, is featured in the musical Lady Sunshine, co-written with Travis Leland.

Contemplation on Ram Dass

There is this feeling which exists between presence and transcendence where the world is real and unreal at the same time. The mind is bigger than the brain that holds and beholds it, its consciousness reaching just beyond to where we cannot see in order to call and recall, to create and recreate. Some meditate to get there; some medicate, or somewhere in between. But to be seen on that level, to be grasped by someone else in that moment and share the word "believe"—there lies God. (6 May 13)
