Gratitude is the first "pre-release" single from Liquid Mind XV: In The Love, and the full album will be released on February 14, 2025, for streaming, CDs and MP3’s.
The Liquid Mind album titles have always reflected my own life’s journey and lessons learned along the way. Liquid Mind XV: In The Love is no exception and addresses the very fabric that holds a healthy society together, love.
In my experience, love can come from many places and in unexpected ways... through acts of kindness, meaningful relationships with family, family of choice and friends, being of service to others, finding peace within ourselves though meditation and prayer, self introspection and examination, and through meaningful work in our careers... the list is endless if I open myself to expressing and receiving love. With so many options, one need never be deprived of love.
In an e-world that increasingly relies on electronic interconnectedness, it can be challenging for us to live our lives “in the love”, as cultural and political differences of opinion often seem more extreme online; but in-person connection, seeing another person’s expressions and body language when we interact, can give us invaluable information and help us to avoid stereotyping others.
Gratitude is the foundation of a healthy relationship, and this song is dedicated to that value which we all hold dear.
I’m deeply grateful for your support of Liquid Mind for so many years, and my heartfelt thanks to those who contribute their talent to this series, and to those of you who have encouraged me to continue this journey. A reminder: As my music appears to deeply relax some folks, please do not listen while driving or operating machinery of any kind, and drive safely at all times!
In love and gratitude,
