The Road of Happy Destiny

26 July 2007
Category: Original Compositions

I created this instrumental in mid 2004 and it is my first composition in open tuning. It represents the path of recovery to overcoming addictions, depression and other ailments of the body, mind and soul. This recovery is only possible when you let go to the will of God and come to realize that only His power can restore your sanity.

Guitar Tuning: D.A.D.F#.A.D

My source of inspiration to compose this song is the life-saving impact I received from meditating on the following words:

"...Abandon yourself to God as you understand God. Admit your faults to Him and to your fellows. Clear away the wreckage of your past. Give freely of what you find and join us. We shall be with you in the Fellowship of the Spirit, and you will surely meet some of us as you trudge 'the Road of Happy Destiny'. May God bless you and keep you—until then."

— From the A.A. Big Book, Fourth Edition(external link); Ch 11, pg 164.
