“If you were in the middle of a forest, surrounded by a thicket of unkempt plants, trees, and wild wonder at every turn, would you marvel at all of the paths and directions you could go? If it were pitch black, dark, would you trust each step taken into the unknown? If it were the brightest day, would you bask in the sunshine and fall in love? Owls, Omens, and Oracles is a collection of songs that summon us to observe the roads we are traveling and how they might lead us through dark times, but we are never alone. There’s always an inner light to guide the way.” -Valerie June
