Story
This is a love song to the Divine—to Creativity herself. I had a transformative experience that redefined spirituality for me. I realized how little attention I had paid to spirit, with any real consistency. And yet, they are always there—full of love, wisdom, and inspiration. “My gratitude unfolds like old origami.” This song concedes that while I may never get to a perfect spiritual practice, the only way forward is to keep trying. Fun fact: “Your Luminous Beauty Here In The Dark” — a line from this song — was the original, working title for the record.

My love is imperfect, I know
But here I am
Rib by rib fanning open
Heart in hand
Glowing blue
Like the moon
Your love is patient, gentle, true
I’ll just keep tryin’
I’ll just keep tryin’
You chose tonight to show me
Who you are
Your luminous beauty here
In the dark
I’m on fire
I’m inspired
You’re the source of all I admire
I’ll just keep tryin’
I’ll just keep tryin’
My gratitude unfolds like old origami
A humble shaking before this great mystery
I want to hold on to this new serenity
Once the veil drops back again will I still know you?
I’ll just keep tryin’
I’ll just keep tryin’
I’ll just keep tryin’
I’ll just keep tryin’
Don’t let me go…
