That is a beautiful story! I have had a number of people tell me they thought the song was hokey until they really listened to it. It's one of those songs like "Danny Boy" which can't ever quite become a cliche because a good performance brings back all the freshness. Much gratitude for your sharing.
(This really IS the lovingkindness circle...)
