humanity's interconnectedness

Below are two Youtube videos I like. They seem to go together, in form and content. Jason happened across "Dark Hand and Lamplight," which is a song called "Rank Stranger" that my family, especially Grandpa Gene, sings. The singer is opening for Bonnie Prince Billy, one of our fave musicians. I saw "Women in Art" posted on the space of Jessica C.

When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;
when doubt no longer exists for you,
then go forward with courage.
So long as mists envelop you, be still.
Be still until the sunlight pours through
and dispels the mists --
as it surely will.
Then act with courage.
- - - Ponca Chief White Eagle

Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.
