Quote of the Day

I hear the tender words from Zion
I hear Noah’s waterfall
I hear the gentle lamb of Judah
Sleeping at the feet of Buddha
And the prophets from Elijah
To the old Paiute Wovoka
Take their places at the table when they’re called
I hear them all, I hear them all, I hear them all

—from the song “I Hear Them All” by Dave Rawlings and Ketch Secor
