    I've heard of Regina but never listened to her music. I'm really enjoying it! I also really identify with her view of distance. I'm always in awe of the strange reality that we are spinning on a sphere in the middle of nowhere. I think people are always a little freaked out when I put it that way, but she put it the same way, and it was kind of refreshing hearing that. I will definitely seek out more of her music.

    Great...another person who likes talking and commenting about religion while not being grounded in any!

    There aren't any rules Harry

    I really love the lyrics to "Laughing At" and very much appreciate Regina's inquisitive approach to religion and spirituality. Some of you might be interested in the work of American Integral Philosopher Ken Wilber, and especially his recent book "Integral Spirituality". For example, he shows how we aren't simply and arbitrarily born religious or not, but rather we all grow into and through very complex stages of spiritual depth and understanding. Good stuff. Looking forward to the new album!
