Name: Trust / Peggy & Alec's
Duration: P00H02M12S

In places in our lives where we may have more privilege, this poem to us is about a practice of being trustworthy in addition to trusting. The tune was for the wedding ceremony of Peggy & Alec Leon.

lyrics

Trust.
Sometimes I want to tattoo it on my finger
Or backwards across my forehead,
So that every glance in the mirror is a reminder.

Trust.
Because a life of fear is not so much fun,
A dynamic vessel frozen
Like the Tin Man after the rain,
Forgetting about the heart
He had all along.

Trust.
Because the way it is
Is the only way it can be
This moment.
And fighting that
Hurts.

It may take a billion passes.
I can learn to trust the process again.

If you want to hear more piano accompaniment, I'm excited to recommend Joanne Garton's 2020 solo fiddle album, "The Bee's Knees" as well--featuring my piano, Berta. Aaron Marcus

This is an album filled with amazing music but it’s hard to top a track with a rocking moneymusk followed by...a hidden track(!!!) with one of my favorite tunes, Tom Kruskal’s, played by the ones who wrote it! Jack Mitchell
