TODAY 3/23/2023 would have been my beloved little brother Alexander's 55 th birthday. I MISS him so very much. Can't BELIEVE 10 years has gone by so fast! ): Portrait of a Brother I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts, or fears. But I can listen to you and together we will search for answers. I cannot change your past with all your heartache nor the future with it's untold stories. But I can be there now when you need me to care. I can't keep your feet from stumbling. Your heart from breaking. I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall. Your joys, triumphs, successes and happiness are not mine; Yet I can share in your laughter. I can share your sorrows with a hug, a hand, a kiss and a whisper. Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor are they to judge I can only support you, encourage you, love you and help you when you ask. I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship, from your values, from me. I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you with open arms. I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you But I can give you the room to change, room to grow, room to be yourself, my beloved little brother. I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting, But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces and put them back in place. I can't tell you who you are. I can only love you as a brother should with love, laughter, dignity and grace. You were a light in my soul Alexander. Your heart was filled with kindness and generosity Your laughter was warm. Your spirit, radiant. A brother is a friend God gave you. A brother is a friend given by nature. There's no other love like the love for a brother. There's no other love like the love from a brother. God's call has returned you to home You are no longer tortured in your mind, your body and your soul. No more suffering for it has been replaced with divined serenity. I will always love you. The trumpets and drums are playing, You are now at peace with the angels. They hear you sing, I Surrender to you O' Lord. Your spirit shall live in my heart and soul, for you Alexander will always be my little brother 4ever. Rock on!������ your brother 4 LIFE Love & Light, Christopher

As your consciousness slowly fades, you'll have all the time in world to reminisce...

This song brings me into the presence of God! It is so beautiful and peaceful!

This song is just beautiful. I was doing something when it came on my tv.....and I froze until the end. Just awesome.

This melody brings me to tears......not with pain, or dispair, no.....it's so lovely and beautiful......almost like- purging the soul of everything, and leaving only a softness and calmness in my spirit.......

I was reading a book while this song came on Pandora. I started crying without realizing it. Other than Thomas Newman songs, no other songs can make me cry like this one. I feel so lucky Pandora actually exists and I found this song. Why isn't this song more popular?

I play this song to help me fall asleep. This is the song I want to play as I walk down the aisle when I get married and the song that is played at my memorial service. I absolutely love this song. I start to get very emotional when this song comes on. It's so beautiful.

My mom...I think of my mom, may she rest in reverence.

And this is why I have a Pandora subscription ❤️

Every song has a soul, I believe this ones soul has captured me permanently.

A glass of wine, this song and my beautiful wife with me.....life is good.

I'll never get tired of music like this even if they do "sound alike." To me, it's just a reminder that Music is the language I speak - I was born into it, growing up with it, and I shall die with it.

Both this song and Life and Death by Paul Cardall are the pieces that make me honestly realize how easy it is to be found in new light, even after walking the darkest road. Yes, we know that no one is perfect, but what needs to be understood is that perfection is achieved only by those selfless enough to see it in others. If there's anything else to say, it's this; Do not lose the sweetest moments by anticipating their end.

I wish the entire world was as peaceful and soothing as this music and video is. Absolutely fantastic peace of music.

We played this at my mama’s memorial three weeks ago today. She was amazing and I miss her more than words can say. This song represents what my heart feels. Reverence for a Godly, beautiful person.

Thanks for making this...I just posted this in facebook and thought I would share. None of us know what happens when we die. We can assume, we can believe by faith, we can take other peoples word for it who claim they have seen the other side and returned...but none of us really know until the day we stop breathing and our bodies stop. We either find out or we fade without knowledge of anything. I was sitting around relaxing with a cup of tea and I was thinking about and missing my brother Blaine who passed away a short time ago. We used to talk for hours about everything and anything. Existence, religions, space and time, not days or nights or sunsets or sunrises...just a planet rotating in this vast universe casting shadows. Who we are and how destructive of animals we can be and how loving of creatures we can be. I miss those talks. About 5 years ago he emailed me an mp3 of this most beautiful instrumental and he said when he heard this song for the first time it reminded him of our talks and the time we spent sharing our ventures into our minds. Somehow I misplaced the mp3 through new computers and formatting. My gut tells me I left it in a folder that I deleted before double checking it to see if there was anything else I wanted out of it. Anyway...as I am sitting her thinking about him and remembering all the good things... the song starts to play on Pandora on a New Age Ambient channel I made. My heart dropped. I've never heard it on Pandora before. I've never heard it anywhere other than the mp3 that he sent me. The emotional me wants to think it was him somewhere saying "here ya go brother...I'm still around". The other side of me sees it just as a coincidence. Either way, it absolutely felt like it was supposed to happen no matter what it was. As I go to youtube and look up the song, I find this video tribute that was made by a fan. In the pictures displayed it shows an overlooking cliff view of a forest that resembles the area where I left his ashes. The place he wanted to be. I do miss my brother very much.

This song stirs such deep feelings in me. I tear up when I hear it. It takes me to a different realm.

I first heard this when I was walking Pine Mountain Trail in Pine Mountain/Warm Springs, GA and I was on part of the trail that you could see one hill side while walking (hiking) the other side. I had Pandora on, and this came on and I just stopped, sat down, pulled my phone out of my back pack and burned the name of this into my mind and then I discovered the CD "Grace". And I was blown away. I have a new friend in my life who is literally deaf but has some hearing and the slide presentation is equally beautiful and whatever my friend can hear, it is this song. I mean no disrespect to those of you who are deaf, but for those of us do hear; this piece of music speaks to my faith in God.

beautiful song this is real music not rap not pop not rock not blues this is real not saying the others aren't music but this is music at its finest

Final hours until a new year. Oh how this song pulls us out of time into God's timelessness. It does do much more than words can ever do to bring us into eternal presence.

always makes me think if this was my last day on this Earth...and LOVE...a truly sacred song

Literally, as I listened to this song, a rainbow formed outside

the stillness of GOD....the peace of JESUS...the work of HIS SPIRIT.....The LORD Stretched HIMSELF to make the heavens and the earth....and HE stretched HIMSELF on the Cross to save us......We shall bow in reverence unto the LORD JESUS CHRIST

Oil for the mind.

my son James is so full of life and love and our music tastes are so similar. It is a gift that he can feel my emotions, the ups and downs and to be able to touch our hearts together even when far apart. thank you hammer, mom

This is about the most beautiful thing I have ever heard... wow....

I start my day every day with this piece as soon as i wake up. It is the most moving piece of music I have ever heard in my life. It dissolves my cares and worries and heaviness as I prepare in the mornings for the new day. Thank you David ....

I used to enjoy this waking up each morning on my mission. Thank you!

I love the scene of the poppies dancing in the field💝

Sacramental oil and inscense for the mind. This song anoints my soul.

same here, I was doing something around the house and this came on and it stoped me. I had to just listen to the end. Pure beauty.

I found this through Pandora, too. There is no other word but "beautiful" for this music by David Tolk.

A wonderful song it makes me cry a loveful song after a time I could hear the song even if it was not playing it was beautiful 💙💜💚💛💓❤️💕💗😙😙😘😍😊☺️😌😻🐶

I will NEVER get sick of hearing this song!!

Living, dying, death, resurrection* happy reunion , since 1 wanted to die...that is a wonderful direction to go in; to think about others and what we can do for others.....

When I listen to this I close my eyes, and remember this past summer. I remember all the good decisions I made, and regret nothing. How everyday was another day to look forward to. Then I realize how boring my life is now, and how I've lost one of the biggest things that made the summer so memorable. Then there is a manly tear. And life goes on.

this moves me so much I cry and I pray with this song playing but not sadness just recalling great memories this and secret garden

Happy Veteran's Day and hopefully Peace, Love, Blessing's and Gratitude will be with everyone this blessed day as we acknowledge those who have given so very much to all of us for our Freedom. Including my relative's and loved ones that have given so very much to our family. My grandson has his Birthday today too. I am so thankful for this beautiful music today. Thank you kindly. Wendy

This song usually makes me feel calm but right now it's making me feel forlorn at the loss of my best friend

This is so calming and warm, I feel like crying every time I hear it.

Every bright day, every hope, every moment living without you sounds like this....so many days we could have been wrapped in love, but life doesn't work that way. I will always remember is in bed, and the quiet love whenever I hear this.

It's a perfect song it makes you feel better

This makes me think of an old school baptist church of my young years with that one old piano. This song feels and sounds like an old hymn.

This song stirs up endless emotion... I envision the lives of people I've never met, their trials and tribulations, their happiness, their despair... It makes me realize that the world does indeed turn, life goes on for most, and for some it comes to an end... It is in these feelings that I realize with certainty that we only have one life to live, one moment after another... So please, cherish each and every moment you have... Experience everything you can... And do so with kindness and compassion, for each other, and all living things on this, our only earth... There really is no reason not to...

Perfect music selection! The visual representations are beautiful! Thank you for introducing David to your viewers. He's brilliant! Your video is well done! 🙏❤

I love this song and many other song by David Tolk, this song makes me feel so relaxed and peaceful. This song also fills me with hope, it is so beautiful.

Only piece of music NOT from a movie that has moved me to tears...so beautiful and perfect I cannot even begin to describe the emotions it produces

David Tolk's music are as inspiring as any hymns I ever sang. It seems to me he is creating 'unsung' hymns that are asking for words to match the emotion.

I want this song to be played at my wedding when I walk down the aisle one day.

Thank you, Pandora

Simply wonderful...thank you for sharing~

What a testament to the creative power of God. How anyone can think all this is the result of an explosion of gases baffles me. The music is so perfect. Thank you, QuestioVerum2010 and David Tolk. Just beautiful!

Laying on your back on a summer day in a big field cloud watching to this masterpiece

The first time I heard this song was on Pandora. I stopped what I was doing as it called to my HEART. I looked up the song on KZfaq and found this incredibly stirring video. I see heaven and earth.

Helps to calm a troubled mind... in these VERY troubled times.

An extremely beautiful, yet haunting melody...

This is so beautiful.

There’s so many people that feel you David. Feel blessed my friend. You Shine ❤️

I discovered David's music on Pandora and when I heard this song, I teared up. The beauty and solemnity of this song is so overwhelming.

I love this song! It fills me up on the inside! The wonder of God's creation flows through the beautiful melody!

it made me cry. im soft in the inside

I feel like ive heard this at every sad/heart warming part of every movie. So beautiful.

Beautiful... This sounds like a track that should go in a movie when someone is walking out of the light. MAGNIFICA

This song brings tears to my eyes. It's so simple, yet so beautiful.

this is one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard. Incredible video too, John C. Catlin!

Extraordinary! Stirs many deep thoughts.

I found this song through CHUCK and it reminds me of a woman I fell in love with 2 and a half years ago

Pandora showed me this beautiful song. Thank you!

I acted out a sad scene to this music and I made myself cry....

He’s so talented. I love this melody and anything like minded ❤️🌺

This tune gives me the up most feels, I swear.

Well done. The message I received was reverence toward the only planet we will ever call home. Wonderful images that reminded me of just how beautiful some places on earth still are, in spite of all the damage humans have done. Thank you for creating and sharing this wonderful video.

Absolutely beautiful.

Beautiful song

This is such a treasure.

This is such an amazing moving piece. One of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard.

I can't imagine why anyone would put a thumbs down. That doesn't make any sense to me.

simply beautiful...

This is what you call the sound and look of PEACE!

So beautiful. I went to David Tolk's Facebook page and liked it. He seems like a really cool dude and a family man as well. Looks like we share the same faith, too. Well done, sir. Thank you for the music.

Thank you so much for this. I created a youtube relaxing music list which I can see on my "smart tv." This is a true treasure.

Absolutely beautiful!!!

This reminds me of one of the ending scenes in the movie "October Sky" - beautiful piece.
