From the article:
The Indiana Quaker folk singer is a cult favorite of thousands of fans and has shared her life and faith in many interviews, including this favorite conversation on Krista Tippetts program On Being. ....
Newcomer: Yes. These are threads that run through my songs because they run through my life. Some people say theres the sacred and theres the secular, the spiritual and the nonspiritual. But I just dont see a dividing line there. There are all kinds of overlaps. When you choose to approach the world and your life that way, there are moments of awe and wonder and the sense of something really extraordinary and powerful about our daily lives.

Many of us do not separate the spiritual from the secular.

(1,900 posts)around 25 years ago at small gigs in a city park in Bloomington IN. She was preparing for her first trip to Nashville. I had recently visited Nashville twice and shared my experiences and recommendations to her. The next time I saw her, she was surrounded by adoring fans and paying them the same heed she had paid me. She had fallen off my radar in the last several years. It's nice to recall that time in my history, thanks for posting.

The music is all that matters.

But when it comes to politics, keep your religion the fuck out. Base your policy ideas on reasoning and experience, not what you think your god wants.

(148,008 posts)OK. Many of us do. We don't mind if you don't, though, as long as you don't insist that we comply with your habits.
I'm glad this performer is having success. I've never heard of her, nor have I heard any of her music.
