My continued gratitude to a lotta folks: my father, Edgar Farmer, for (among many other supportive things) helping me to create the disc's pre-version; Scott Andrew James, whose love story inspired "Love Thing, Part 1: The Wedding" and whose book, Sidewalk Ritual, inspired "When You [Side]Walked Into the Room"; Mindy Johnson for sharing her mother's wisdom; Eli Byrne for gifting studio time and flute magic for "Mothers Wisdom"; Bill Filer for use of a better guitar on "Mothers Wisdom" and his savvy in the studio; Pastors Donald R. Ingram and Dan Nold, for sermons I drew from for the lyrics in "Seed"; Xception (aka Donnie Adams) for the lead-off verse on "Breathe and Believe" and Meena (who I've still never met) for her voice -- all the way from India -- which served as the track's inspiration; Dylan John Western and Noelis Marquez for the photography and image editing on the album's front cover (also used as the digital album art); my cousin, Darnell Clark, for the 'peace in the middle of chaos'-themed painting featured on the back cover of the now-sold-out physical copies; and Robin Sukhadia and Raluca Ioanid whose generosity made it such that I would have a guitar to play.
