“Rev. Edie Weinstein-Moser”

I probably heard your song “How Can Anyone” for the first time through the magnificent audio-visual work of Mark Tucker…. or, now that I think about it, even before that somehow, through my friend Alan Cohen. It resonates so completely with what I know to be true about all of us. Sometimes even the most confident among us, need that reminder.

I am a psychiatric social worker, interfaith minister, writer, speaker and clown. The most profound use of the song came a few months back during the course of a ‘normal’ day at the psychiatric hospital in which I work.

I was sitting with a woman who was a survivor of abuse, who had a history of self-mutilation, an eating disorder and bottom of the barrel sense of herself. I hadn’t planned on playing the song when she came into my office, but after a few minutes, it was clear that it was the best medicine I could offer her. I placed it in my CD player and the sweet sounds of your voice and the lovely melody transported us both. I watched as her tears turned to smiles and mine along with hers. Goosebumps (God-bumps is what I call them) rose on my arms as I witnessed her transformation. She immediately asked where she could pick up a copy of your CD. I hope she followed through.

I listen to it several times a week while I am on the road…on Mark Tucker’s “Streams of Light” CD and it never fails to boost my spirits. As a minister, I can imagine using it during a wedding ceremony or in a healing service I might offer.

Thank you and bless you for sharing your gifts so generously.
