This CD is the culmination of a plan myself that I created for myself 2o years ago.My plan was to live a life in search of a spiritual attainment. A goal that is promised to those who truly believe, and act and sacrifice for their beliefs.
If I was lucky enough to achieve this goal then the rest of my life would be dedicated to creating music about my journey and experience.
