I want to share Ellis with you…

I met her almost exactly one month ago and she is one of the most beautiful souls I've ever encountered. Her music moves me so deeply, I am filled with simultaneous joy and sadness…but ultimately, a sense of peace and well being.

The world is such a strange place anymore; and DU has had its share of unrest, tragedy and loss. The recent passing of NNN0LHI comes to mind; as well as others we've loved and lost both personally, and here at DU.

I hope the music of Ellis brings some small comfort to each one of you. We may not always see eye to eye, but that doesn't change the love we share as a community of very similarly minded Democrats. We really are only here for such a short while...



Peace.

TYY

...but you're right. There are definitely similarities.

I saw Phranc sing live in the late 70's and early 80's in Salt Lake City. Thanks for the reminder.

"Remember the heart is a tender thing, restless and hopeful it cries and sings. And sometimes you need shelter and a space to be a little tough, not tough enough, a little lost at sea."...

The music "Wherever You Are" in this OP video gives comfort to me in a world that feels more foreign with each passing day.

For those that we've lost... Kephra, NNNOLHI, my sister...
