"I started writing 'Take Heart, Take Care' on a long drive from Reno to Eugene a couple years ago. I'd had the progression and melody in my head for a few years prior to that even, but was never able to come up with anything I thought suited it. As it happened, on that long drive it started raining pretty hard and the route I'd chosen was two-lane and dark and encroached upon by evergreens and rock walls on both sides… The last couple silent hours of the drive had done their work and from there the rest came pretty easily over the next few weeks as I recall. The first verse and chorus had announced their intentions pretty clearly so it was more or less a matter of trying my best to honour that intent. 'Take Heart, Take Care' has been a reliable counsel for me ever since and I hope it might do the same for anybody listening who maybe wants or needs to hear it."
