This album, NEW LIGHT, acoustically depicts the stories of my life; the joys, the struggles, the love and the pain.
Until recently, I have felt inadequate to share at this level. How could I possibly? I did not have the experience, the conscious perception necessary to even feel at this level.
Now, every time a write a word, I feel its conviction immersed in its power, its light and I become conscious of what lies through the words.
Thoughts have become clear as I focus on personal goals in the musical worlds. Like time, we move along, gaining more experience, more momentum for who we truly are to become. But then we find time is an illusion and we discover we have always been our true selves, we only had to remember so.
Such is the nature of the universe and of New Light...
