When I offer critical comments
I vow with all beings

for the error that somehow crept in.

As many of you know, I have the great pleasure of playing French horn in the celebrating its?25th season at the Lone Tree Arts Center. Our first concert is September 27 with?Beethoven¡¯s ¡°Pastoral¡± Symphony (remember??), alongside the spirited rhythms of Dvorak¡¯s Carnival Overture and Lehar¡¯s Gold and Silver Waltz, and the exotic melodies of Borodin¡¯s In the Steppes of Central Asia. ?are on sale and we are already half sold out!
Love seeing sangha at concerts so I hope you will come.

Our tendency in life is to avoid things that frighten us. But in order to become whole, we need to go deeper and deeper into ourselves by reaching further into the things we fear. The Holocaust was the state-sponsored persecution and mass murder of millions of European Jews, Romani people, the intellectually disabled, political dissidents and homosexuals by the German Nazi regime between 1933 and 1945. Adolf Hitler¡¯s ¡°Final Solution¡± came to fruition during World War II, with mass killing centers in concentration camps. About six million Jews and some five million others, targeted for racial, political, ideological, and behavioral reasons, died in the Holocaust¡ªmore than one million of those who perished were children. Join us in Poland to bear witness to this horror. November 17 - 23, 2024 |
