The first time I saw you live was in a small community congregation in Broad Ripple, a suburb of Indianapolis. I believe it was shortly after the 2016 presidential election. Your opening song was “I Heard An Owl” . You sang it with such a passion and message that whenever I get down on current events, I listen to that song and it brings me back to the work we need to do. Thank you for reminding us we are in this together.

I love your post. And that is what I’m focused on today, Monday January 20, 1925. I will be reading instead of watching tv. I am more interested in MLK stories than the inaugural whoop-la. I am breathing peace and love, hopefully for the next 4 years and beyond. Thank you for keeping me in balance.

My favorite part of the film, Out of Africa, was when Meryl Streep was given a single sentence by Robert Redford, to begin a story that went on for at least an hour. I love the whole concept of Ad-On, and have done it with my kids and grands. Thank you!

"We can choose a story that lifts us all, that empowers us all, and that holds dear the long arc of justice, that removes and corrects “ everything that stands against love.” Amen

Thank you so much for sharing these two songs and a delightful and pertanent story. I've shared them on to my circle of friends and music lovers. I'm sure I will listen to the songs several more times over the next several weeks. Blessings to you and on you for the music you share with us all.

I'm here and I choose to let my little light shine, hoping to illuminate the darkness, not giving into despair, but holding onto hope...

I am here and I choose kindness (for myself too), love and community and I will not allow the darkness to overtake me. I will continue to live into the light...though there will be many challenges.
