DEDICATION

All of us who look with awe and gratitude
at the mysterious gift of this life,
Awake to what’s taking place in our world,
yet holding the dream of what is possible:
May we remember who we truly are
and the greater lifeforce working through us,
and together fulfill our purpose
in humanity’s great transition
to a thriving way of life for all.

GRATITUDE

Mom & Abba, for choosing our family, and loving us so fully. This is all thanks to you! I love you both so much.
Kelly, for choosing me, choosing again and again to be my Beloved, my adventure friend, for walking every step of this with me. I love you.
Greg: You planted the seed for this, and when I was ready, you were ready with me. You & Melodeego have shown me this is possible.
Bonnie: My angel, teacher, mentor, cheerleader, second mom, and dear friend. I cherish you and this time we get to share.
Danny & Paul: You went above and beyond for me and this record. When I look back at the fun we had, our friendship will be the best part.
My teachers and coaches: Marshall Ganz, Marguerite Chandler, Joanna Macy, Maria Nemeth, Beth Ann Suggs, Wayne Manning, David Gershon & Gail Straub, Francois Beausoleil, Roxy Manning, JoAnn Lovascio, and many others, for generously sharing yourself and your learnings, and bringing so much sweetness to my life.
My friends and companions in the movement, making change through Greenpeace, Energy Action Coalition, Sierra Student Coalition, 350.org, The Pachamama Alliance, Generation Waking Up, and many more… there’s no one I’d rather work, play, change the world, and grow old with.
Finally, my family, dear friends, and funders... you believed in me, you believed in this music, and you gave generously to bring this to life. I am completely in awe of what we have accomplished together. You have filled my spirit and given me voice, and I am so grateful.
