Daydreams

A great and beautiful album for contemplating, philosophizing, dreaming… meeting and reconnecting!
“When each of us gives voice to the feelings we experience, the eyes of the other become small mirrors that shimmer like the sun after the rain.”
In this expansive album, infused with gentleness and poetry, we encounter the characters from the books Wonders and After the Waves. The exploration of life and the world continues, both within oneself and through others, until reaching the ability to truly listen, understand, and share.
