Music and Courage
As much as there are times for planning and sorting things out and looking ahead and setting goals, there are also times -- often, many times --for taking the next step when that next step, and what comes after that aren;t clear. A leap of faith, you could say, or a step of one.
Music is a good companion for facing and preparing for such times, whether they come with excitement or reluctance.

beautiful photo, kerry, and even more beautiful words. times of change definitely need musical accompaniment. :)
Music is always a great way to center yourself before proceeding forward. Thanks, as usual, for the beauty expressed in photos and music.
It sure feels like ever more courage is needed. There are a couple of Nickel Creek songs that are sort of my anthems for doing something "brave."
