Foxley Wood (Simon Attwood) 7:02 In this ancient English wood, sunlight breaks through leaves...they in turn, are imbued with life by fitful breezes. Minstrels, having crossed the Sahara to return here, unfurl their song and mark boundaries..

Shanti (Dada Nabhilananda) 9:08 Beyond the beyond – a universal peace breathes the creation 3. Ruff & Reeve (Simon Attwood) 4:28 On windswept marshland, the pugnacious menfolk gather at the lek. Donning their finest livery, they dance for future lives. 4. The Fall (Andrew Purdam) 4:38 Slam Slam Doors close Fire Smoke Chaos Falling Falling This story is not for children. 5. Heart to Heart (Esme Holmes) 5:40 For Claire Bruhns - Her every breath – compassion and zeal – forever an inspiration 6. Loro de la Noche (Simon Attwood) 7:54 They name you occidentalis, they brand you critically endangered under IUCN 3.1. A needle in a thousand haystacks, we lost you, found you and lost you again. 7. In Beauty (Nitya Bernard Parker) 9:36 Making precious every moment – not easy Not easy moments – honouring dignifying 8. Nadia (Trad) 7:36 River. Rapids. Tranquil pools. Currents. Hope. Tenderness.
