With all the stuff going on in the world now--especially that it does seem that just about everything is spinning off the rails----this song from singer/songwriter Mary Gauthier seems to rather fit the times:

I hope that you like the song.
When done listening to Mercy Now---click and and watch/listen to "Drag Queens in Limousines"

In these trying times it is very likely that we will see institutions that we once had faith and trust in shaken quite a lot. As painful as it is we must acknowledge the mistakes and learn from them, and not simply cover them up. To hold each other with forgiveness, patience, love, and respect is critically important. As she says - in a word - "Grace"
A very nice song, thank you for sharing.

"Evil (ignorance) is like a shadow--it has no real substance of its own, it is simply a lack of light. You cannot cause a shadow to disappear by trying to fight it, stamp on it, by railing against it, or any other form of emotional or physical resistance. In order to cause a shadow to disappear, you must shine light on it."
Shakti Gawain
--
If there is light in the soul,
There will be beauty in the person.
If there is beauty in the person,
There will be harmony in the house.
If there is harmony in the house,
There will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation,
There will be peace in the world.
Chinese Proverb

Might be more powerful to change that from "order" to "honor" in the nation, something we desperately need right now is honor.

I really did not know too much about her till recently--she has been a guest player at a few shows of another favorite group backing them up and she sang a few songs--none of these though--I liked what I heard but really didn't take to her that much---but now I am really liking her too.
I am sure gonna have to get a few of her releases and go see her the next time she swings back through this way.
