1.   Silence is heavy, like the ocean, and if a breeze waves by, it
smells of red dirt and dried tobacco.
Hollow trucks, exhausted cotton fields and brittle barns lay retired
above ground, in the very place where they were last alive.
Deeply religious, and generally kind, people scoot about, making the
rounds of daily chores.

You can feel beneath the lush and harmonious garden, that the earth
hides a churning bed of scandal and tragedy. The belly of the swamp is
full of alligators, and they wait until dusk to slide out and
congregate at the water’s edge.

9. Craig Street had the idea to take the songs to a small club.
Working through the material live made it more real. The songs
instantly become stories, because I had to share them even as I was
discovering them.

13. I am more than my story. I can use my soul to reach into other
worlds and ideas, and I can come back home when I need it.
