lyrics
beauty picture beauty what comes to mind what do you find maybe a person a place or a hike that's nice it feels so alive beauty is borrowed from the sky what about the animals all around the town caught up in up what's wrong about being down with the down beauty is borrowed from the ground beauty it tells me keep singing open more be afraid be adored be a wave be the shore fall away move towards i hear it say you are invited to be silent

Need - Bonus Track 02:19
lyrics
there's a hole in your heart bigger than Jurassic Park take your time to breathe it in there's a smile on your face more beautiful than outer space take your time you're doing great things happen to all of us the universe will back you up if you need to hear it you'll hear it now if you need to feel it you'll feel it now if you need to see it you'll see it now there's a brain in your head with billions of cells in it take your time to listen in there's a boy by your side he'll be with you for the ride let me know how I can help

about

I was cleaning out a cabinet in the spirituality center where I work when I stumbled upon a lost tape: "Towards a Philosophy of Absence" by John O'Donohue.

I was looking forward to spending the next three days in solitude to write music, and this tape caught my eye just as I was out the door. I am familiar with John's poetry and facilitate with it often at work. I am also drawn to the experience and concept of Presence. Though, Absence...this intrigued me.

Sure, why not? I grabbed it and brought it home. For the next three days, I listened to this tape and I rested in Absence. This set of songs is what I found - some new, some old (bonus tracks).

Presence and Absence speak so dearly to my soul. I hope you enjoy.

P.S. I like to write or draw to this kind of music. Give it a try?
