“By the Mark”

Speaking of religion …

I find that there is something very spiritual about Gillian Welch’s song “By The Mark”

on YouTube, at

I shared this song with a relative a while ago. He has good and wide ranging musical tastes — in short, musical discernment.

He knows me intimately, but he asked me, “are you religious?”

I answered, “No, not particularly. But I respect people who are.”
