Asheville All that we are is story. When we can share those stories, we recognize our kinship: we change the world, one story at a time. (R.Wagamese) Be Kind.

Have you wondered where we were before we were born?
Rollin' 'round the heavens like a song
I know it's then I saw the big Sierras
Saw a California sunrise comin' on

Oh, there's California bloodlines in my heart
And a California heartbeat
In my soul

This is such an amazing lyric to me: one of those moments that encapsulates dark and light, how they can coexist.

I have drifted out so far, it's dark enough to see the stars

Mercy Now was my intro to her. Her songs go straight to the heart

Dark enough to see the stars, dark enough to see the light
In an ocean black and deep, in the middle of the night
As I hold onto your love, like those lights from up above
I have drifted out so far, it's dark enough to see the stars
Thanks @cooperwheels.bsky.social

New to me. Love it!
Reminds me of @the-big-quiet.bsky.social writing

Under heaven's canopy, tiny diamonds you and me
Lightening bugs inside a jar, dark enough to see the stars

It’s later than it seems… still

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears, without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hidin'
You must help me if you can

Lovely version. She is so beautiful! And yes, that looks like Sam. For me though, this is one of those Dead songs that doesn’t work nearly as well with a female lead as the original. Love to hear her do Ripple or Standing on the Moon.

Ok no one got this so here you go. Not the best vocal
—and there are a lot for this song—but the best Greg Brown. (Plus Freight & Salvage!)

Love calls like the wild birds-
It's another day
A Spring wind blew my list of
Things to do...away

They’re just not the same in NC as Northern California.

And who was I, deep in that backseat and watching it flicker past? I never needed answers. The wondering was enough

Words like yours are inspiration. A tap on the old heart that says, remember this? And backroads always. Wondering is the diving board. 🙏💚

Oh, people, look around you
The signs are everywhere
You've left it for somebody other than you
To be the one to care
You're lost inside your houses

Wine from water is not so small
But an even bigger magic trick
Is that anything is here at all
So the challenging thing becomes
Not to look for miracles
But finding where there isn't one

Such a lovely singer. She did a great tribute to Kate Wolf.
