“Thank you, sweet sister Sarah, for your deep gift of spirit, your huge soul and prophetic voice. Your newest song “Home for Dinner” is a brilliant and heartbreaking song. You and your voice have been at the heart of my life and soul ever since I first heard you twenty years ago when we purchased Two Hands Hold the Earth.”
— Naomi Shihab Nye, poet
