Program Note
I wrote this song to a short poem by Robert Bly in the fall of 1995 as I was preparing for a
thousand-mile hiking trip across France and Spain. At its first performance, it formed the final
part of a vocal triptych together with "Evening Prayer"
and an arrangement of Daniel Belknap's "Summer."
