Gratitude - Day 147

I’m grateful for people with amazing spirits! This project, like all projects, takes so many people to bring it together and breathe life into it. You have the orchestra players (and this bass player is a dead ringer for Pete Sampras!),

soloists,

sound engineers,

and in this case even a video team!

I cannot stress how beneficial it is to me to have people that are positive and involved with more than just their brains or egos – I want heart and soul! And happily, this experience epitomized that in every element, making it a most grateful-filled experience for me! Grazie a tutti, especially the shining Patrizia Ciofi!

We need you to make us feel an integral PART of a shared existence through the communal, universal, forgiving language of music, of dance, of poetry and Art – so that we never lose sight of the fact that we are all in this together and that we are all deserving of a life that overflows with immense possibility, improbable beauty and relentless truth.
