This piece was created after the completion of "Beginning Wisdom." It's organized around the free improvisation of Greg Ward, who was only provided with a drum track.
The texture of the drums was a continuation of the rhythmic approach started in "Beginning Wisdom--" in an effort to stay true to the life lesson learned in the process of it's "composition" (see note on "Beginning Wisdom")
The harmonic orchestrations are all laid on after the fact--in an effort to honor the implications eloquently outlined in Ward's improvisation
Its appearance right after "Proof of Life" has a relationship to the opening lyric "So it is over."
