Hi Folks,
Instead of a Songlab this month I decided to do a Song Share and play you a new song just out of the notebook. The song was inspired by reading John Paul Lederach’s luminous new book The Centuries Wrap Round Us. I’ll explain more about the story and image that inspired the song in the video. Much appreciation to John Paul for creating this beautiful collection of prose poetry and the stories and wisdom that threads through the entire work!
Here’s a link to the The Centuries Wrap Round Us on Bookshop.org or on Amazon and Outskirts Press
Here’s an excerpt from the book description “John Paul Lederach writes from a lifetime of vocational accompaniment alongside communities who find extraordinary ways to engage, transform, and transcend repeating patterns of violence. In this wisdom-full text, Lederach offers a much-needed message for the practices of hope and dignity in midst of today's fragmented and too often fear-driven world.”
Here’s a link to John Paul Lederach’s website which includes essays, poetry, photography and more.
