Hello.
This has been a hard week, a cruel week. People all
over the world are continuing to suffer, and now
another senseless, violent attack in the U.S., as
well. Do not lose sight of your perfect role in all of
this. Keep your connections, keep the dialogue open.
Do not discount that your interactions with family,
friends and your community do, indeed, build more
love, more peace, more sacredness. Keep believing that
there is a greater good within humankind.
Come out and shed some tears, or share a hug. Whatever
you need, it will be here for the taking.

Kambo Family Benefit
Benefit concert at The Nutty Brown Cafe on May 6th
2 pm-9/10 pm
To raise funds to help support the Kambo family
(See link to the story in the Austin American Statesman below.)
I will not be at this event, but I encourage everyone
to go and support this family by attending.
Sam Kambo is an LCRA employee that was in the process
of applying for US permanent resident status when he
was detained in October. He has been incarcerated
since then, and it is obviously taking an emotional
and financial toll on the family. Folks are trying to
raise funds to help support the family while the legal
proceedings move forward.
A number of bands will perform and there will be
a silent auction to raise funds for the family.

Forever sending peace,
Sara
