Produktbeschreibung
We are the overcast, those living beneath the clouds, dealing with loss but somehow still loving the earth. Some of us have been "blessed"; some suffer more than their share. We go from innocence to experience, then back to innocence-are we ever wise? Or do we just reach a point where we either accept or do not accept our lot?

We "sing in [our] chains like the sea." There is no heaven like the song of the overcast.
