Sometimes along the trail through your personal landscape you stop and look back and realize………………..how long you have been walking through the countryside and how many lives you have had.  This song is about a unique time along my path with my brother in a place that was real as well as awesomely mythic in proportion.  

100% of all download proceeds are being donated to Doctors Without Boarders/Medécins Sans Frontières.  Doctors Without Boarders/Medécins Sans Frontières (MSF) is the world’s leading independent international medical relief organization, implementing and managing medical projects in close to 70 countries worldwide and with national offices in 21 countries including Canada.  Their work focuses on emergency medical and humanitarian relief, implementing medical programs in areas where no health or sanitary systems exist, or where the current infrastructures have been overwhelmed by health needs and crisis.  In some countries, after immediate medical emergencies have passed, MSF adapt their programs to meet the long-term medical needs of the population. It is noteworthy that over 80% of donations go to direct relief projects.
