I gotta give ups to my sister for sharing this with me!!!
If I had to envision my “clique,” this is exactly what it would be! A collage of gamers, musicians, and math nerds that watch Breaking Bad and make obscure Star Wars references!!
YES!!
This is the first video recorded piece I’ve posted in YEARS!
I was truly and deeply moved by the recent events in Newtown, CT. I spent the week meditating on this incident and trying to understand within my own spirituality how our Creator could allow such things to occur.
At the end of the day, I had to find peace in remembering that all life is subject to a season. There is birth, life, death, and re-birth in accordance. We have no control, nor can we harness time to our bidding. Those physical bodies that are no longer among us housed young, innocent spirits. For reasons unknown, the Creator sought to reap their beauty from this life, in order to prepare for planting in another.
May their paths in this life lead us, like breadcrumbs, in the direction of justice and peace.
