"A time comes when silence is betrayal.
We are called to speak for the
weak,
for the voiceless, for victims of our nation
and for those it
calls enemy,
for no document from human hands
can make these humans any
less
our brothers and sisters."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Lights of the Future
Children give us the highest
vision of the future,
because through their eyes
we can see the world
we
are leaving for them.
A clean and peaceful world
is the tribe's chosen destiny.
Inspire the Dream.
A 500 Year Plan...for the Children
Music is the Teacher...
How will you ever find peace
unless you yield to love
the way the gracious earth
does to our hand's impulse"
- Rabia - 717 to 801

"Bill Bourne on his own, seriously,
was the best part of the night
- straying bravely away from
adult
contemporary, faded
'80s hits and all things Boomer."
