My own quest in this brought me to an understanding that it is basically about a connectedness, flowing from inner experience. In terms of the "three dimensional conceptual" analysis of reality, spiritual awareness is a result of relating wholeness (subjective-Subjective) with the creative freedom of an artistic view of the world (objective-Subjective), resulting in the sense of the inner worlds of all that is, a sense that by its very nature, connects it all.

"Holding Hands" brings together music that reflects something of this connective spirit (or breath), which is not as open and minimal as "From the Mists," neither as expressive and sharply focused as "Blue Petals." It finds a certain harmony, a home-coming to what is inside, to what makes everything "alive."

Sometimes it soars into heaven, but sometimes it grounds us into the earth too. A male spirituality wants to define and "picture" the divine, whereas the male-female marriage forces us to remain open in whatever we imagine the divine to be. Definition brings exclusiveness, whereas the "relative-Subjective" potentially feels All that is, both high and low, both breathing in and breathing out.

In this experience, even a stone has a soul.
