She brings me everything except the jailhouse 🔑"

Dear Friends of #singing,

As we may know the #yogi #maxim, 'No #growth without struggle', 'No pain, no #bread ... eh #grain'  
Similarly, we might #travel a #path well trodden in, or off the beaten #track. #Choice #chooses.  

Hidden in a #tree, captured this #songster. Loudly declaring #independence.  

#Witch way now? Who can-can say? It is #sound to the left and sound to the right. The way ahead is #silent. I can already #hear it #calling the past into #existence  ...
