consolation by Daniel Robert Lahey
Pieces that have more than most others brought a tear to my eyes. These are all very gentle pieces, and one of them ("noitalosnoc (thing_165.2)") is using my reversing trick on "consolation (thing_165a)." The last piece, "being peace" (pre-thing) was one that made me cry for weeks. I slowed way down for that piece and just let it write itself. It's also the title of a beautiful book by Thich Nhat Hanh which inspired me greatly.
