Here are the song’s lyrics: “Solsbury Hill”Climbing up…

Thank you Holly for finding this one. It sort of speaks for itself.

I’ll be at the Baltimore Book Festival tomorrow, Saturday, on a panel talking about… yes!… faith and politics. It should be a good discussion. I’ll be joining former Md. Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, PBS’ Ray Suarez, and others at 1pm. Come by if you are in the area. Click here for more information about…
