I have a sordid past.
If you’re lucky you find something that reflects you, Helps you feel your life, protects you, Cradles you and connects you to everything.
Therapy was the biggest romance of my life.
The only word for love is everybody’s name.
But where do we come up with this notion of a woman in which the less space you take up, the more you’re worth?
And I’ll act like I have faith, and like that faith never ends, but I really just have friends.
Every time you opt in to kindness Make one connection, used to divide us It echoes all over the world.
Sometimes life gives us lessons sent in ridiculous packaging.
I fear that to fall in love with you is to fall from a great and gruesome height.
I was raised by parents who really admired the religious leaders of the left, as many 60s and 70s liberals did.
There’s the wind And the rain And the mercy of the fallen Who say, “Hey, it’s not my place To know what’s right” There’s the weak And the strong And the many stars that guide us We have some of them inside us.
Go ahead, push your luck, find out how much love the world can hold.
They preach that I should save the world. They pray that I won’t do a better job of it.
I’m becoming a professional nomad and enjoying that whole part of my life.
The funny thing is musicians often love to go to see visual art because you’ve got all these pictures to turn into metaphors.
The first concert I saw was Cheryl Wheeler.
If a war has to happen, a war has to happen.
I try to be careful not to do single concerts where I fly out, do my show, turn around and go home.
I think music is another language.
I really value people besides parents who nurture kids.
And the ones that know you so well are the ones that can swallow you whole.
