spirituality and how that plays an important
role in his art. Does it do the same for yours?
GE:Oh, yes, very much so. I was raised
Catholic which kind of makes me irreverent

me, that is what it is about. Everything that exists is God to me; everything. The all. Kind of
like Greek Hermetic philosophy in there with a

thanking people for their prayers which I felt
as a physical energy, when I was recuperating
23 years ago from that accident. It was like I
was plugged in. They talk allot about the
power of prayer, but I literally felt it. And it was
powerful and I felt it. That song was a very big
thank you to everyone and I felt connect. I
think we are all connected, with spirituality.

I do. As a matter of fact, I happen to own the
