However, Arnaldo soon meets the owners of the nest where he awoke, giant flying bears, who give Arnaldo advice and have a large prayer ceremony for him, to help him understand that he must face reality.

In Acknowledgement of the History of Unfulfilled Human Longings
A somber and dramatic piece for string orchestra that is meant to musically translate a poem I had written entitled "The History of Unmet Human Longings":

From the birth of man,
A bloodline of unrequited love
and desires unfulfilled,
An unfading disease of hollowing undeserved unrecognition,
The legacy of neglect, abuse, and dismissal,
of starving loneliness,
The unbroken custom of ignored important messages,
and all leaving the poisoning question,
Am I worth what I think I am?

Let the collective wound of the desperate throughout time bind and comfort us.
