May they be lifted up....

Our love and compassion go out to the people of China as we prepare for our departure on Monday. There is no way to comprehend the magnitude of suffering that has enveloped this country, as well as Myanmar with it's own tragic death toll. All I know is music heals, music touches hearts and souls without any words being expressed, therefore we will be able to transcend the language barriers as we express our love for our brothers and sisters, wherever they may be crying out. We will be dedicating each concert given in China to the victims of this disaster, a disaster no one called down upon themselves and no one deserved. Life is fragile, this we know, so in the words of Leonard Bernstein, "This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before".

Truly, no man is a island.

Bless the men, women and children....

We're back.....

We are finally back and with very little delay with the four airports we traveled through today. We are totally whipped out and thrilled to be going to sleep in our own beds! On Friday....tomorrow, I think, yes....tomorrow (forgive me, what day is it?) I will post more pictures from the trip and an epilogue of sorts to sum up the whole experience. In a nutshell....it was incredible!

So, more tomorrow after I've had a good night's sleep and a gorgeous cup of fresh ground coffee in the morning!! I'll tell ya, it's the simple things.....
