Time on a String

Luxuriating within the lustrous musical harbor of the Ortolan sisterhood is the great strength of Stephanie Cottingham's lyrics. She talks of space and place, street corners, trees, and "sitting here reading this all on the ground." We are able to explore these rooms with her, dream alongside her, join her in the desire to "Be So Bold" and "wish I could live. . . to the fullest". We know with her that "I was meant for something more". We face "Sticky Situations" in the midst of which we struggle to "make things better" and believe the best about people and ourselves.
