About

I discovered a beautiful tapestry inside one of the cabins at The Christine Center in Wisconsin. On this tapestry was text that I eventually discovered as a definition for the Sanskrit word "namaste". This was one of those moments where a melody came to me right away and I finished writing the solo version within 2 hours. After I got home I arranged it for SATB choir. One Voice Mixed Chorus premiered this piece January 2024.

I honour the place in you

that is the same in me.

I honour the place in you

where the whole universe resides

I honour the place in you

of love

of light

of peace and truth

I honour the place in you

that is the same in me.
