Rootsland  "Reggae's Untold Stories"

"Resistance" Many Rivers to Cross


Listen Later

In the episode "Many Rivers to Cross" Henry K and Sia explore the quiet but powerful weight of regret—how it can hold us back, and how it can set us free. Their conversation centers on the inspiring true story of Ryan Rae Harbuck, a young swimmer paralyzed at sixteen whose deepest regret wasn’t her accident, but the potential she never allowed herself to embrace before it.

Ryan’s journey back to the water, her pursuit of Paralympic dreams, and her determination to create a life with no regrets reveal how regret can become a driving force rather than a burden. Henry reflects on his own rebirth after years of music-industry heartbreak, sparked by a sunrise, a walk, and Jimmy Cliff’s “Many Rivers to Cross.”

The episode closes with a heartfelt tribute to missionary pilot Alexander Wurm and his daughter Serena, who were tragically killed while transporting hurricane relief supplies to Jamaica. Their final mission becomes a reminder of love, service, and the courage to show up for others.

A moving episode about resilience, purpose, and the power to change your own ending.
