Though this song was written almost 20 years ago, in a time when many questions crowded my heart and I felt the weight of literally being 'lost' on the path, the words and feelings feel very much relevant to the situation we face in the world today.

Inspired by the beautiful poem by the same name, this song is dedicated to my beautiful friend Annette who sadly left her body last year after a long fight with cancer. The story reminds us that it is in those times when we feel we have been left utterly alone, that the divine is closest.

The lyrics in this song say, 'After the storm has gone... life carries on'. And perhaps it would even be true to say in the center of the storm itself, life to continues moving and if only we can let go, we will be carried safely to the other shore.

At times like these, it often feels like I am literally walking through the darkness with only a tiny lamp lighting my way. However, when I look inside and remember the mystery within, the inner lamp shines that more brightly... and the journey continues...
