Free to Be...

"My fascination with the lyrics of a song and the phrasing of the artist to bring out the meaning - not the rhythm is at the heart of my love for music.

The word 'Freedom' is a glorious, encompassing, and powerful word.

Its sweep is glorious.  It is found in the image of a small child struggling with her first steps, or sitting quietly contemplating what to do with the rest of her life.  She is free to be..."

Give Free...Make Free!

"The Word 'Freedom' is a glorious, encompassing, and powerful word.

It's sweep is powerful, and I remember the image of a worn flag being taken from the dust of a decaying house in the city by a black man scavenging for bricks.  His caress of the flag, even today - for me, still conveys the message:
Give free...make free!"

"Bloomin' N' the City

"I could feel her Freedom: from her dangling braids to her untied shoes...the swoosh of the swing, she was a black statement of beauty blooming like a rare and delicate flower.  The buds of the orchid exemplify her own growing transformation into the richness of her future life."
