My prayers go out to all of you who are worried about friends you have not heard from. I am so relieved to hear from all of you New Yorkers...Kay & Debra, thank you for sharing your stories with us, so frightening...so relieved to hear you are safe. This is a time of such deep sorrow. Yet there is still much sweetness in the midst of all the sorrow. Hearing the congress singing together on the steps of the capitol building yesterday. It made me cry, then I laughed because they sounded pretty good. And again I was reminded of the unity of music that crosses borders of all kinds. I hear stories of how heroic & calm the actions of new yorkers were in the face of something we have never experienced here in the USA. I listened to the Mayor of NYC talking about how there was no looting. I hear of all of the countries who are speaking up in support of our country. I look for signs of unity & human kindness that help to help balance the deep sorrow & shock of what happened yesterday. In time it will be easier to discuss some of the other aspects of this event. Right now, on behalf of those who are reeling from this horror, especially those who were there & those who are worried about friends & family who are not accounted for I beg for us all to bite our tongues, sit on our hands, refrain from sending anything that might be divisive. Words of unity, compassion, & love are what will help us all through this difficult time. Thanks for listening, Kate ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics www.polysonics.com Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ********************************************
