Dear Iswari ~ oh my goodness, but you brought back my nostalgia for DC again. When I lived there, I heard Sweet Honey perform at least 3 or 4 times. They are so magnificent in performance; it is imcomparable really. I guess "battlefield" is a good metaphor since that is the one that comprised the Bhagavad Gita and the conversation between Arjuna and Krishna. I've been on the battlefield all my life, and I hope I'm still "fighting" (working for the greatest good of all) when I go...and with a song to God/dess on my lips. Jai Ma, Linda "Love and beauty are within you. Try to express them through your actions and you will definitely touch the very source of bliss." ~ Amma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
