I'm back from an extended weekend of energy and creativity at the Wild Goose Festival. At the camp in North Carolina, I met lots of inspiring people and participated in many talks and music events on justice, faith, and the arts (articles to follow soon). Take a listen to one group I wish I had seen more of … Damion Suomi and the Minor Prophets.
