I'm so happy to hear that, Erika :) I have to live things as I write them so I'm glad that transferred to you.

In particular, the Appalachian video, which is about singing ballads, appeals to me. This suggests a special yearning in me that cannot be explained with words. Something deeper, more symbolic comes to light. Thanks for this.

Yes, isn't a beautiful tradition?! What must it be like to hold stories for generations knowing that your ancestors once spoke the same words.
