	Story Behind the Song Susan and I went to visit friends who live way out in the country, near Albuquerque. San Pedro Canyon is basically out in their back yard. When I went out there, I suddenly felt that I should get my NAM flute and play it there, over the canyon. I started to play, and I realized that there was a lot of response out there - a lot of life in that canyon, that had just seemed like flat scenery moments ago. A rabbit hopped by, then I paused between phrases because I heard echoes of my sound; then I heard birds singing, as if in response to my sound. Then, when the group of us started getting real still, to listen to the response of the sound - suddenly we could hear more and more sounds: the creek, which sometimes you could hear, and sometimes not, depending on the wind; and there were other sounds. It rememded me of all those Carlos Castaneda books I had read years ago - the spiritual descriptions of the desert. This was the inspiration for the piece.
