Story Behind The Song

To forgive is one of the most difficult and elusive human acts.  It can be considered an emotion and attribute, as well as an action. Forgiveness is often as difficult to give as it is to receive, yet essential to all fully realized relationships. Forgiveness, in the moment of both the acceptance and the offer, creates a state of grace and purity, allowing a glimpse of humankind's sublime potential. The electric guitar has always been a mystery to me. A difficult puzzle that escapes my grasp, literally and figuratively.  It has been a formidable goal of mine to slay this dragon and bend it to my will for some time. Of course, I am aware that this dragon is, in reality, only a windmill, yet the quest remains. "Forgiveness" was a rare moment of grace when this dragon laid down, windmill or not, and allowed me to coax a melody to the surface.
