Video:  Easy Listening Music

      We must commit ourselves to listening--taking time to listen to the stories of our parents and graqndparents, to listen to the insights and musings of our youth and to the innate wisdom of the children.   We must commit ourselves to listening to the disenfranchised and marginalized within our families, our ccommunitirs, our country, and our world.  We must commit ourselves to listening to the birds, to the animals and insects, to the flowers and the grass.  From this place of listening, we will recognize our shared existence on this earth and will begin to heal.

     .... Deep healing can only begin when we step fully into the truth of our individual and collective histories.  If we are willing to delve deeply enough into the stories of our ancestors, the stories of this land, the stories of the first peoples of this land, we can begin to integrate these stories and heal the old wounds.
