From Where I Stand: An Audio Series
“From Where I Stand” is a new Terrain.org audio series written and narrated by Valorie Grace Hallinan in which she follows our connection to the places we call home. Each audio essay will explore the nexus between the built and natural environments, often building on the words of other writers, artists, and thinkers. Listeners will join Valorie for a brief, restorative journey, making connections that inspire greater care for their home, whatever environment that may be.
This episode, “Water Bewitched,” is about Valorie’s discovery that the poetic name of her subdivision, Crystal Spring Valley, comes from the underground springs known by Native Americans for their healing powers–and what happened when a visionary Baptist preacher discovered the springs.
The flute in this episode is “Healing Waters,” from Peaceful Journey, composed and performed by Jefferson Svengsouk and produced by Celestial Light Show (2015). The music is used by permission.
