The legend of the traveler appears in every civilization, perpetually assuming new forms, afflictions, powers, and symbols. Through every age he walks in utter solitude toward penance and redemption.

They tell me that, I'm not qualified,

To lend my voice, to something so beautiful.

We only get to live one time, but twice did my life stand in some sunshine.
I could lose eyesight, I could end up blind.
But I drew my design inside the bloodline.
Years go by, memories combine.
But y'all the only reason I would even rewind.
Thank you for the branch you grew on this tree.
Your first breath wasn't easy to find.
So you signified the mountain you climbed, By lettin' out a warriors cry and it sounded like mine.

Now everybody hold up the family sign.

"We show up, burn brightly, live passionately, hold nothing back, and when the moment is over, when our work is done, we step back and let go."

Art is far more important than we realize at first blush,

as important as food.

It is another way of altering consciousness.

It alters the way we look at the world.

If we are going to be saved as a species I think art will be the primary factor.
