RAY OF HOPE
"When you listen to Ray of Hope, let your worries wash away leave you worries behind come join be present in the moment, stop, breath, look inward" ~ Juliana

"I imagine a seaside cave, outlooking the ocean but protected form the sun, as I relax in the shadows." ~Tara

Ray of Hope was inspired by the suns rays in the sunrise and in the sunsets, especially the ones that are humid, when the atmosphere is full of moisture and I see the mist in the rays.

Ray of Hope was also inspired by this poem:
HENRY DAVID THOREAU, "THE INWARD MORNING" (1842)

Packed in my mind lie all the clothes
Which outward nature wears,
And in its fashion's hourly change
It all things else repairs.

In vain I look for change abroad,
And can no difference find,
Till some new ray of peace uncalled
Illumes my inmost mind.

What is it gilds the trees and clouds,
And paints the heavens so gay,
But yonder fast-abiding light
With its unchanging ray?

Lo, when the sun streams through the wood,
Upon a winter's morn,
Where'er his silent beams intrude
The murky night is gone.

How could the patient pine have known
The morning breeze would come,
Or humble flowers anticipate
The insect's noonday hum,—

Till the new light with morning cheer
From far streamed through the aisles,
And nimbly told the forest trees
For many stretching miles?

I've heard, within my inmost soul,
Such cheerful morning news,
In the horizon of my mind
Have seen such orient hues.
