Mr. Altig’s Overview of the Wonderful Dharma of the Lotus Sutra

“When Trust Blooms” is a soulful bluesy folk song that celebrates the beauty of trust, friendship, and the power of shared words. Inspired by the connection between friends across time and space, the song’s heartfelt lyrics reflect on the simple yet profound gifts we give each other—whether through a bouquet, a poem, or a kind gesture. Set against the backdrop of the Pacific Northwest, this track combines acoustic melodies with themes of peace, love, and gratitude, making it a perfect companion for moments of reflection.

Lyrics:

Verse 1
When trust blooms, a bouquet is sent,
A sign of love and good intent.
And when you write with strings so fine,
A poem sings through every line.

Chorus
Oh, beautiful words for hearts so kind,
Melodies of soul and mind.
In this gift, we find our peace,
A song where all our doubts release.

Verse 2
A holiday within our days,
Where thoughts align in gentle ways.
The gift you gave, I’ll hold with care,
A friendship true, beyond compare.

Chorus
Oh, beautiful words for hearts so kind,
Melodies of soul and mind.
In this gift, we find our peace,
A song where all our doubts release.

Bridge
From far and wide, our hearts unite,
In the glow of love’s soft light.
The bond we share, it knows no end,
A gift of words from friend to friend.

Chorus
Oh, beautiful words for hearts so kind,
Melodies of soul and mind.
In this gift, we find our peace,
A song where all our doubts release.

Outro
From Al-Shaaban to Altig’s name,
Our bond, it stays the same.
And so, I dedicate to you,
My dear ones, strong and true.
