I found the incredibly unique Wood and Swink Store and Post Office thanks to my first friend in Gainesville, Linda Pottberg. She brought her washboard down towards the end of my set and we jammed out a few tunes on the porch. After a tune or two, painter and stained glass artist Beverly Fitzgerald, who I met the day before at Shady Oak in Micanopy, walked over from her house next door. It was a pleasant surprise to find that she lived there, and had the day off. When we finished, she invited us over to her home to have a look at her work.

God of life,
Every act of violence in our world,
between myself and another,
destroys a part of your creation.
Stir in my heart
a renewed sense of reverence
for all life.
Give me the vision to recognise your spirit
in every human being,
however they behave towards me.
Make possible the impossible
by cultivating in me
the fertile seed of healing love.
Help me play my part in breaking
the cycle of violence
by realising that peace begins in me.
