The original music is my own performance of a piece by 16th century composer, Luis de Narvaez, which I first heard on this excellent album by Rolf Lislevand.

Various clips over the music create a montage of reflections on what it means to be human.  Here are the clips:

Psalm 8:4-6 (My own reading)

Sailing to Byzantium by William Butler Yeats (read by Cyril Cusack)

Walker Percy - "Lost in the Cosmos" (My own reading)

Alan Watts - "You Might Not Be Who You Think You Are"

Mel Gibson as Hamlet reciting the "What a Piece of Work is a Man" from Shakespeare's Hamlet Act 2 scene 2

William Hazlitt paraphrasing Aristotle (My own reading)

Coleman Barks reading Rumi "Only Breath"

Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty in the movie "Bladerunner"
