"All Night"
This was inspired by the imagery of a Japanese

departed by sending lanterns out on
leading to the ocean, sometimes in
little along with imagery of the Celtic

The which appear in this booklet were
taken at a 16th century lodge in Portugal,

depicting the mysterious and death cycle of the
seasons. It was in this courtyard that piece was
conceived. - L.M.
