Autumn has come.   As the leaves and larch needles die in a grand display of color, we are invited to slow our minds and spirits.  With the earth, we can lay down our striving and slide into the stride of winter.
Lay Me Down welcomes the thoughtful and playful music of Dario Re.
Thalia Hicks sings her song about the leaves falling into her arms. 
Pete reads a poem by John O'Donohue from the book "To Bless the Space Between Us".
