Jeanne Mackey: Music has been a beloved companion throughout my life—from benefit concerts and picket lines to earth holydays, births, deaths, joinings, partings, & other rites of passage. Always plenty of songs to sing, but I couldn''t seem to write my own-- until now. It took this many years of living for the inner chorus of doubt to quiet down a bit. These songs help me embrace it all--big dreams and popped balloons, belly flops and belly laughs, moments of magic and grace.
The show''s title comes from 14th century Persian mystic Hafiz. According to legend, Hafiz was asked, "What is the sign of someone who knows God? He replied, "Dear, they have dropped the knife. They have dropped the cruel knife most so often use upon their tender self and others." (Source: Daniel Ladinsky)
