The fruit ripens on the tree, the roots are silently at work in the darkness of the earth against a time when there shall be new lives, fresh blossoms, green fruit. Such is the growing edge! It is the extra breath from the exhausted lung, the one more thing to try when all else has failed, the upward reach of life when weariness closes in upon all endeavor. This is the basis of hope in moments of despair, the incentive to carry on when times are out of joint and men have lost their reason, the source of confidence when worlds crash and dreams whiten into ash. The birth of a child — life's most dramatic answer to death — this is the growing edge incarnate. Look well to the growing edge!This episode was produced by Joey Taylor and the music is from Jeff Gorman. You can find more information about the Common Good Collective here.

Her explorations use her family legacy of labor as a strategy to connect with worlds that she is foreign to, experiencing them while remembering. She currently teaches at University of Cincinnati, Ohio. Her work has been showcased in Argentina, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, and the United States.The recited poem was Shared Breath from Julia's new book, Habitats. Order it here.I came out wandering, asking the trees and the singing birds for words to help me understand what it means to be present with others. Water fell from the gray sky in drops, sometimes thick and abundant, sometimes slim and sharp, sometimes tiny and gentle. Birds sang next to each other, asking and answering to their correspondence and inquiries as a whole. All different songs, overall a complex melody that I fail to understand, but that for me blends into a harmony of mystery that hides the clues to my predicament. We feel alone in a world full of others. Our souls touch even when our hands and feet remain distant. The forest is like a family where everyone is essential in its own uniqueness and individuality. There is nothing I have to do except to embrace this generosity. One thing I can offer is the presence of a shared breath for me to extend myself for others to expand for us to grow together. This episode was produced by Joey Taylor and the music is from Jeff Gorman.

It's time for the final installment of this year's in-person interviews I conducted at the legendary Newport Folk Festival which took place in Newport, Rhode Island, July 28-30. First up, my friends Jeff Gorman and Jake Cochran of Illiterate Light stopped by to chat with me about the Bike Stage that they hosted, curated and operated. Jeff and Jake -- a hard-core rocking two-piece by day -- have created a sustainable and entirely off-the-grid solution to set a shining example of how we can mitigate the environmental impact of the live music ecosystem. This is the embodiment of Think Globally, Act Locally!!Next up, I spoke to Jake Ewald of Slaughter Beach, Dog, a Newport Folk first-timer whose alt-folk brand of artistry was a perfect fit for the Harbor Stage audience. I talk to Jake about his powerful songwriting and how very unexpected it was for him to even be at Newport Folk. We share tons of laughs as Jake's comedic timing is spot-on. Slaughter Beach, Dog's new album Crying, Laughing, Waving, Smiling will be out September 22.I also had the pleasure of sitting down with Erich Huffaker and Mariam Diakite of Orchestra Gold, a band with roots both in Oakland, CA as well as Mali, West Africa.  I talk with Erich and Mariam about the African Psychedelic Rock movement and how African Dance is integrated into the ethos of this band, whose mission is to "spread healing and community through the universal gift of music." Amen. And to close down the 2023 Folk Fest series, I had a gem of a convo with Newport natives Evan St. Martin and Dave Sarazen of Laden Valley.  The first act to hit the stage this year, it was a surreal experience for sure, and they both related to me just how incredibly special it was for them, after years of attending the festival as fans, to actually be up there performing one of their rare live shows. This was an example of the pure joy of live performance for both fans and the artists themselves.It has truly been an honor to bring all these amazing artists to the Roadcase audience. Newport is a truly special experience for artists and fans alike, and I'm glad I can bring some of that excitement and musical joy to all of you.  See you all at Newport 2024, and in the meantime, Rock On!!

The elders say we must let go of theshore, push off into the middle of the river and keep our heads above water.And I say see who is there with you and celebrate. At this time in history,we are to take nothing personally, least of all ourselves. For the momentthat we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.The time of the lone wolf is over.
