NEED TO ADD KEYHOLE IMAGE

“And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still. And listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently.
And the people healed. And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal.
And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live and heal the earth fully, as they had been healed.”
And Sue adds, Amen! May it be so.
And now, a shared Magical Evening from an earlier time (2015):

This is a beautiful, uplifting rendition of Leonard Cohen’s song, Hallelujah, performed by Choir Choir Choir which travels world wide, puts out a spontaneous call for interested amateur singers (all strangers to one another) to gather, practice together for a couple hours, and then perform the song just once before dispersing and going home. This was a magical evening. 1500 singers came to the Luminato Festival at the Kern Generating Station in Toronto. Rufus Wainright joined them to sing lead. It was an EPIC NIGHT, an evening of shared good will, inspiration, and joy.
Recommendation: Make the picture large and turn the volume up high. I’m imagining that when we have survived this tragedy that has befallen us, that we might gather and sing together like this. Shall we make a promise to do so?
May each of you be well, be safe, and remember look for the small expressions of beauty hidden very deeply, very very deeply, in each unfolding day.
with love,
