This episode references mass shootings and other violence, but does not share details. This is my heart talking to yours. I heard about the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School's church in Minneapolis today (Wednesday August 26, 2025). I have been preparing episode one, which is about that which reflects us, protects us, and connects us to everything (paraphrasing Dar Williams). There are rivers and waterfalls and singing and talk of spiritual practice.Today, my practice was to pause and sing and talk with you. I sing "Canta Pajarillo," a movement song from South America taught to me and others by Eleuthera Diconca-Lippert, a beautiful human and musician from Montreal by way of Uruguay. We need one another. As the song says, we are beings of hope in times of violence. The music of our collective voice is what we need for peace.
