Ladd Bogdonoff

This was the first song that ever came to me back in the fall of 1986 when I was on retreat at the Vedanta Center in Olema, CA. I heard inwardly, the words and music being sung by some angelic voice, while walking in the redwood grove way up on the hill overlooking the valley and the guest house at sunset. I had just gaduated from massage school the day before and all my "circuits were open". A seer had told me a year or two before that I would find someone who would work with my body (massage school) and open certain pathways which would allow my creativity to blossom in a nw way. This song felt like a musical prophecy when it came through and now twenty two years later, the words still come back to me to inspire and give me strength to carry on during these challenging times. The immortal "tapestry" of our lives that God has woven together with all of His living "threads" is becoming ever more beautiful daily
