Feathered Friends

When we started this mix my cohort, Sara, was sbbseg. She has since been married and changed both her name and her user name, in the latter case to ucelluccia. Just like a woman, as the poet Dylan would say.

This mix started out as a free-flowing, see what happens thing and quickly evolved into a thematic ode to birds, our feathered friends. I think ucelluccia and avocado rabbit started to become friends during the making of this mix, and the pair are already working on a follow-up.

In the words of the Scot James Matthew Barrie: “The reason that birds fly and we can’t is simply that for to have faith is to have wings.” What he tells us is that we can fly spiritually; we just don’t realize it.
