Today someone died in my family
Yesterday the death in your family
Are we square now?
The vigil in the remembrance
Of three beautiful bright lights
Reminds me how hatred swallowed them up
In this darkness
I see the shadows
Of men holding guns and revolvers
Moving around in our backyards
Who will attack next?
Innocent victims could be you or me
Before such a day dawns on us
My friend, let me hold you close
And assure you of my love

Oneness Projects appeal to our compassion and to the spiritual in us and inspire us to create projects with art, music, dance, and poetry to share and spread understanding and unity.
The Oneness Projects will preserve and spread a message of divinely guided oneness, interconnection, and unity by supporting artists and creatives who embody this ideology. Through group and solo exhibitions, interdisciplinary collaborations, artist talks, workshops and other public programs, the organization will further my life-long passion for unity.
