Holding Us Back
My new favorite song is from Katie Herzig. There’s lots to think about when your 38,000 feet up in the air and in an airplane flying here and there, meeting interesting people along the way, or taking road trips here and yonder, and so I wonder what is holding me back…I wonder about silence and [...]
Anything|Anywhere
