What a nice gesture, to write an uplifting song and make it available.
At the end of the day, I guess it really is about Trayvon's family finding the strength and faith to move into the rest of their lives without anguish and anger. And they know literally millions of people support them.
Outside that, I fervently hope his death inspires a whole new commitment across the US to heal some of the racial injustices that serve NO ONE-including racists. Of course, I hope there is a judicial component for GZ and SZ to that; but that may not be.
On another note: to Barbara: Have you ever seen the Instantaneous Aspectarian, designed by Dorothy Hughes? She was an astrologer in Seattle, back in the day. It is a cardboard devise with a rotating disc, that shows you all the aspects from one point in the horoscope. It's especially helpful in pointing out the one's that are hard to spot visually: ie: semi-squares, sesquiquadrates and quintiles. I have "drawn in" quindeciles, as I look at them, too. On the back is a virtual "cheat sheet" of astrology basics; all arranged around the wheel, so you can see how things interact with one another and the patterns that are formed; like grand crosses, trines, etc. and modalities, elements, etc. This might help you pull things together and there are key words, too, which are so very helpful. I use mine ALL THE TIME. I know they are still being sold, as I ordered some when I taught a basic astrology class a few years ago, through a local metaphysical bookstore. If you are interested and cannot find one, let me know and I'll get you one and mail it to you. (I live in Portland OR) I think they were around $12-15. Absolutely indispensable, as far as I am concerned.
