For Miriam “Marie” Dorothea Edwards Als

Two songs that apply to her maternal philosophy. From the lyrics: “Something big is going to happen, my dear. Bigger than mountains. It’s freedom.” And: “Sounds. Of life. Are heard. Everywhere. Sounds. Of life. And love. And despair….You gotta keep movin’ on. So, make your choice. You go, and do your thing. You will find your grass will turn green. Believe.” I believe it all. Thank you, Mrs. Als. Welcome—and good-bye—and thank you.
