We interrupt these haiku...

A warm thank you to my friend Barbara (@bffox on Twitter), who managed to snag a few seconds of my song leading at yesterday's march & prayer vigil in solidarity with the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, SC.

My instinct in times of struggle is to be in community; this gathering of 400 or so people in my hometown was very much a healing one for me.

The song I'm leading is Sweet Honey in the Rock's "Ella's Song," which takes as its inspiration the words of civil rights activist Ella Baker.
