about

Luminous came to me on a stormy morning, scuba diving in New Zealand’s Northland after a long time away from the underwater world. Suspended effortlessly beneath the waves, gazing into the blue, I felt I could just as easily have been floating in a sea of stars. I felt connected to the mysterious, the numinous, to a greatness inside myself...and in that moment I heard music.

Luminous is a call to fill life with activities and people that inspire unbridled joy. For me scuba diving lives up to that call, but when the music of Luminous came to me I had been too long away from the water. You could say I’d been caught up in the busy-ness that makes up everyday life, an overwhelming tidal wave of “shoulds” and obligations that I realized had been keeping me from those things and people that truly bring me great joy.

It’s a reminder for me to be more luminous in and about my everyday life, or at least the parts I can choose and control. I hope it might inspire you to do the same.

Luminous is the second single released in advance of Rachel’s album Encounters of the Beautiful Kind.
