You Are More Than a Survivor - Kathryn Keats

Guatemala - Pete Sears, Jeanette Sears, Ray Telles, Mary McCue, Dave Grisman, Mark Adler et al

I had the chance to work with Pete Sears a few years ago. He produced for me and played on a an EP yet to be released. Pete and his wife, Jeanette,  are some of the of kindest people I know. Jeanette Sears, is just an incredible woman and a prolific writer. Oh my God, she can write! The play list on this is incredible.  It was a project of "Earth Island Institute" and was funded by Jerry Garcia and the Rex Foundation, and the Tides Foundation. Hundreds of free copies were distributed globally at no charge to human rights organizations working to bring the genocide of the Mayan population of Guatemala to the attention of the world. Amnesty International recently played the video again as part of a presentation on Central America.
 I am happy I found this today and I am happy to share it with you. Love, Kathryn Keats

Up here we land

Way up here we land 

Which is kind of funny because most landings do not occur on the up

But it has always been this way for me

Starting from the other side of things

Remaining there for a moment

Fleeting heart

I wish it were not so

I am compelled to take flight

If you find me perched on a familiar place

Whistle up to me

If you see a beautiful sky

Know that I am there
