Transcript

 In this episode on the Scent of Light I will present my song Intuition's Joy that I composed in the Fall of 1989 on the Swedish island of Gotland while helping to produce a session of the World Youth Friendship Parliament with the Einstein-Hermanns Foundation. I can see the influence of 19 years of service to my mentor Dr. William Hermanns in this song, having noticed the important role of intuition and synchronicity as guidance in his life and mine since I first met him, and how this song celebrated what I had learned. It turned out to be the final year of his life. He passed away the following Spring. I will sing it for you now in the hope my insights from these years of dedication will be of benefit to you:

With grace so high
To time I die

From seeds we sow
