Dance With the Wind: Art and Stories from the Stillness

For deliveries, publisher will ship out the books one week after the show.

When the stage lights dimmed and the world stood still, Raymond Lauchengco turned inward, and, unexpectedly, toward art made by hand.

In this luminous collection of essays and reflections written during the pandemic, the beloved singer shares a journey of rediscovery. Dance with the Wind is a collection of his intimate writings, charting his transformation as music yielded to sculpture and to words shaped with the same care. At the heart of the book is a tree in Carmel, bent by Pacific gales until its form became a symbol: not resistance, but resilience. It anchors these pages as Raymond learned to lean rather than brace, to mend what breaks, and to find purpose in presence. 

Across stone, wood, and language, he traces how stillness clarifies and how beauty and hope return. Part memoir, part meditation, and part love letter to the Creator that has shaped his past and present, this is a portrait of renewal: strength in silence, grace in imperfection, and the steady art of becoming and of faith-growing in the face of adversity and the unknown.
