We are living in critical times. Anxieties ripple through us. Life is precarious. We are at risk. I suppose, in a way, this has always been true. But, our awareness is sharper... there is trouble in the wind. And so, we look for ways to stay alive, to keep hope high in our hearts, to stay together, to somehow find our way to Love... The real reason we are all here. That's what I think. We are up against it, up to our necks, deep in it. How will we do? Will we be able to make our stand? It all remains to be seen. The Future is veiled. As Mary Oliver said: we have been handed a "box of darkness". Let's look inside the box... Oh, there are songs here.

Each of these songs is a world; they are landscapes unto themselves. Yet, they belong together - just as we do - by virtue of the fact that they, that we, are reflections of the times in which we live, both mirrors and windows alike. I hope each of you can find yourself in these cliff notes, these messages from The Edge.. I hope you can always remember your name. Welcome to Harbor Street. - Cris
