Comment(s):
This inspirational, prayerful and moving a cappella work is based on an ancient Pueblo First Nations Prayer that encourages us to hold on to what is good, no matter the challenges that choice may present, and to maintain a strong faith in the world, in friendship, and in oneself. A powerful statement of encouragement and hope.
