Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on May 8, 2012.

An Abundance of Life

Update #3 · Apr 14, 2012 · comment

Thank you for your generosity, your kindness, and your vision.  I am humbled and overjoyed!

I have been surprised at how many of the donations have come not in the designated Kickstarter prize amounts, but in multiples of 18.  In Jewish numerology, the numeric value 18 corresponds to the word life.  In presenting us with these donations, you are offering us not only money, but life - an abundance of life.  We are each capable of bestowing life upon one another, because it is the possession of each of us.  As you have offered it to us, so may it be returned unto you!

Here is another video; the lyrics from Song of Songs, offer the title of our album.

“You ravished my heart, my beloved, my bride; you ravished my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one bead of your necklace” (Song of Songs 4:9)
