Sparkling in the Light...

Yesterday we spent lots of time with a small group of creative, funny, progressive, intelligent, graceful and inspiring folks. We were gathered together to plan a concert in October. It was a such a great reminder that most of the people we know are Americans of a certain kind; the best of the best. There is Hope & Optimism alive in the hearts and heads of these folks. They are kind, not cruel, alive, aware, awake, not dumb & sleepy. Sure, we are all worried about what is happening right now; America's ridiculous, soul-killing turn to fascism & darkness. But all of us in this little group, sparkled in the Light. Really. A small gathering. Working on a little project. Not earth-shaking stuff. But it was magnificent, exciting and encouraging to be reminded of what our version of the American Dream really is & can be. A better union for all.
