about

I was in the woods at Hestia
thinking about how to approach life after the year 2020-21. Feeling discouraged, I sat by the creek and poured my heart out... after a while, this song came to me as I sat listening to the water and watching the fish swim by. "Lean on love, Lean on love..." I kept the sound and words close to me all day and night, then more came the next day. I didn't fully understand the song until I went on a hike with this sista to Faery Falls in Shata, Ca later in the week. The hike was steep and the cliff was right at my side, when I felt like I couldn't climb anymore she would say "Lean on me Sista" basically... We are our best resource (as musicians and as a community) we are not alone... if we could just lean on in just a little deeper and receive the love and support, things could work with ease and grace. Are you ready to lean on love?
