Jupiter, the moon, and myself... consists of four songs that are based on poetic texts drawn from four different cultures that personify and deify nature. Lorica is derived from the Breastplate of St. Patrick, a spell, which it is written, St. Patrick and his followers used to transform themselves into deer in order to hide from English troops. Rubaiyat is based on a quatrain by Jelaludden Rumi, the 13th century Sufi philosopher and poet. In this very short poem Rumi joins the heavens by way of a singing competition with the moon and Jupiter. Song Above... uses as its source a native American poem which credits in part the forces of nature with the beautification of Earth. Prayer is built from a text in the Hindu Book of Prayers describing the goddess Earth, the consort of Shiva, who humbles us all with her infinite beauty.
