"Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared." Buddha

Hung out on 4th street while waiting for David to show up and listened to a street musician play in the cold. Then I went to Castle in the Sky to check out their fountain pens and ink. Teance was packed so I went to Peets. Ooops!
I love Joanne's voice. She is in the matriarchal line of the Iriquois tradition. Her husband Doug is in the Mohawk tradition.
Tonight was a beautiful evening of sweet, healing music from Joanne and sacred stories from Mohawk tradition about courage, the impossible, influence and changing the future. I feel so blessed to be a part of the Berkeley Buddhist Community and have my eyes and heart opened with wonderful experiences.
