Asking For A Miracle

"Asking For A Miracle" is a short instrumental piece arranged for acoustic instruments, and written in a time of dire need.

While working on it, I recalled a tarot reading I gave to the fiancée of my sole nephew, sometime after she had lost her first unborn baby. Although she never voiced her question, I felt that she was hoping to try to give birth again. The cards clearly told that the possibility was there despite what had gone wrong in the past, and that her attempt would be successful as long as she was willing to commit to the process and make the required sacrifices. I remember she was visibly moved by the reading and very happy about the possible outcome.

As I write the present post, her son, my sole grandnephew, is 18-month old to the day. The piece is dedicated to him.
