Music adapted from Bishop Mariann Budde's Meditative Story, "Three moments of clarity across the arc of a life."

This spacious hour of music is anchored by a mellow piano line that repeats and varies, twists and turns. Clouds of sound drift across the melody, pulling in and out of focus, creating a sense of movement in a direction yet to be known. A gentle rumble of low tones begins a passage that evokes the global palette of sacred music, from singing bowls to devotional organ, creating a space made expressly for contemplation.

Original music from composer Ryan Holladay.
