When the earth expresses its true nature,
we are in the midst of great beauty and wisdom.
Our own true nature is but an extension of that expression.
This music is inspired by and dedicated to that true nature;
to its further growth, and our continued growth within it.

"Namasté" comes from India, meaning...
I honor the place in you of love,
of light, of truth, of peace.
I honor that place in you
where the entire universe resides.
I honor that place in you, where
if you are in that place in you
and I am in that place in me,
there is only one of us.

Ram Dass, Steve Levine, and Eberhard Weber
