Do you ever get a song stuck in your head? I keep hearing Alison Krauss singing Down to the River to Pray (from the movie, O Brother, Where Art Thou?). No matter what our spiritual beliefs, if any, if you’re like me this song will grab you by the heart.
The song also makes me think of Lily McAllister, a character I created for Lily’s Song, book 2 of the Wildflower Trilogy. For those of you who don’t know that Trilogy, Book 1 is The Secret Sense of Wildflower, Book 2 is Lily’s Song, and Book 3 is Daisy’s Fortune.
If you are familiar with this character, can’t you just hear Lily singing this? Maybe on the front porch with her family joining in?
Speaking of praying by a river, now is the time to send prayers or healing thoughts to your family, friends, neighbors, communities and the world. We have never needed those good thoughts more than we do right now.
Stay well!
Love,
Susan

So very lovely! Thanks for posting.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the Alison Krauss video, Helen. Music creates resilience. Thanks!
Love Alison Kraus! We were supposed to see her in concert in June. Praying we still will.
She’s wonderful, M.E. I hope you get to see her, too. That will also mean we are getting back to normal. May it be so. Stay well!
