violence and the opposite of it...

after hearing what happened to sean when he was in his neighborhood...

i feel helpless - wishing i could help him - and am shocked into realizing how safe we think we are...

i think the breaking and blood, despite the jovial beastish fun, was too much for him between getting mugged and getting shot at with something.

he has been very brave. he is on my list of people to wish health to. my grandfather may pass on soon and he is far away right now. i am lucky to know he is with loved ones, but it is still hard.

thank you everyone who helped out during that show which are the many people sean mentioned, but so many more, because whenever anything happens people are so on it. i hope no one thinks anyone is upset at them. we just need to be more careful - like when we got the warning from the community before.

we simply must be aware - to think for tomorrow and the next - creating our own with passion toward sustainability.
