“In this extraordinary collection of new songs, Carrie Newcomer traces the journey of a life –hers, mine, yours, ours –from a place of “not-knowing” to the “point of arrival.” It’s a promising and perilous journey on which all of us must find our own way. But if we’re lucky, we will be graced with companions who understand the road’s demands and rewards, and encourage us to walk on. Newcomer’s lyrics, music, and voice embody the paradox I need to stay the course: they are deeply rooted in the earthiness of life, and yet transcendent and transparent in a way that fills me with light. This is music to put ground under your feet and lift under your wing, a precious gift from one well-lived life to others.” -Parker J. Palmer (author of On the Bring of Everything)
