Sounds of music, Distant & Close
Speaking of a child born years ago

We yet long for, search out, journey towards
his season & All Year.
Sounds of music, articulating love, peace, & rememberance
reosonating reflection
Sounds of the moment, caroling correlation, & calm

"Not Guilty". Four faces sighed. The rest of us cried. As the afternoon wore on many died in an eruption galvanized not by this salient event but the response a series of actions, measures, and injustices. The…

THANKS
You contributions have been invaluable to creating a closer and more informed community. We thank you!
Amaechina Doreen, Walter Melton and Ernie Mixon are also interested. I'll set up a meeting so we can move forward.
For now, it's most important to tell people you are working on the piece and get the word out. We want this to be something the community knows about as we move forward.
And we need first hand accounts from people in the area who can talk about and provide photos of Santa Barbara Plaza and Marlton Square.
I'll be in touch.
