Cafecito Break

Taking privacy cues from the federal government is – to say the least – ironic, considering today’s Orwellian level of surveillance. At virtually any given time outside of one’s own home, an American citizen can reasonably assume his movements and actions are being monitored by something, by somebody, somewhere. Bob Barr

If surveillance infiltrates our homes and personal relationships, that is a gross breach of our human and civil rights. – David Blunkett

"And in the naked light I saw

Ten thousand people, maybe more

People talking without speaking

People hearing without listening

People writing songs that voices never share

And no one dared

Disturb the sound of silence"  - Simon And Garfunkel - The Sound Of Silence Lyric by Paul Simon

Rosangel Perez shares a reflection about "the sounds of silence"

What a cruel thing is war: to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world. ~Robert E. Lee, letter to his wife, 1864

So much is happening so fast. How are you managing?  What are you seeing?  How is it affecting you?  What does it inspire within you?  For me, I believe these chaotic violent times are powerful reminders to get into your heart space.  In this show, I share some personal stories of gun violence hitting home and why these experiences remind me to treasure each moment and those I love.
