“Across my heart I put a sign
There is no thoroughfare
But love came laughing by and cried
I enter everywhere
-Jimmy Lewis”.

“We are all one- // Born into this rich earth, into the human experience. We carry a dream, a special vision inside, and when the load gets heavy we can reach for that dream. Through it life unfolds and we find strength, faith, love. // This album grew from that belief, and so did Kenny Rankin. // Yvonne”.

“This Album is Dedicated to the Sisters and the Brothers of Phoenix House”.
