Extract from CD Booklet:

In recent years of writing, I knew I had opened up to a greater exploration of my own consciousness. It’s an ongoing journey and this time it felt I was traveling through ‘space’ showing me new areas waiting to be explored. Following this, Mirrors of light began to emerge. As is usual with my work, I perceive light informing the structure. I could sense mirrors involved as if light was being projected into space so that I could see something beyond. At the same time, there was the feeling of reflections on an expanse of water, and I realised that bodies of water are also mirrors of light. What was curious however, is that I knew the first piece that came through was called Mirrors of light 2, which of course told me I had Mirrors of light 1 still to write, which arrived a year later. It is this same process of trust, a recognition of a higher purpose and gratitude that informs the compositions of A thread so fine, Release (composed in response to a poem by Sarah Fawcett), Acceptance (sub-titled Opening your wings) and Prayer.
