Candi,

I can't tell you how much your music has touched our life.  I always tell people about your music, I hope you don't mind, I usually tell them it is a notch above Aretha Franklin, no disprespect to Aretha - whose music I've listened to forever and love, there is something about yours though that gets me deep down like nothing else.

I'm happy for your peace, Georgia sounds beautiful though the closest I've been to there is North Carolina.  I just want offer my deepest gratitude to you, and to wish and pray for your every happiness, peace, strength, every success and joy.

And a short poem from Rumi.

Today, like every other day, we wake up empty and frightened

Don't go to the study and begin reading

Take down a musical instrument.

Let the beauty we love be what we do

There are a hundred ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

be well and we love you too!

Arif and Donna
