Life is a variable flow, and we often say that too many hasty, superficial, and emotional things get mixed in this water. But this album is a reminder about that at any time there is a stream full of peace, light, and joy. It does not hide from us, it is always at hand – just one heartbeat away. All you need is to see it. Just let this beauty flow free – and it will fill in all the gaps, smoothen wrinkles on the forehead, and clear the mirrors of eyes. Without judging or preaching – but, maybe, with great gratitude for the miracle that is embedded in our every day. There is the feeling that this singing harmonizes the space where it exists – so, it can and should be addressed not only in moments of joy, but also in the moments of sadness. A recording stunningly beautiful in its brevity – and just another evidence of the Presence in our everyday life.. Singing: priest Ruslan Hrekh Ison: deacon Nazar Yaruniv

Quiet, enlightened – as if one stands in the face of our familiar world and sees traits not subject to time or darkness manifesting through it.

There is certain magic akin to the content of genuine, deep lullabies – although, sure, in this case the music is more sophisticated, and it is not limited to the "mother/child" vector at all. The emotional palette is very diverse, from the quiet waters of a prayer – and to the disturbing confrontation with the violent world of passions.
