Daniel Alexander Jones gathered the Tribe for a reading of 10 pages of 5 of Erik Ehn’s Rwanda series/of plays that look at genocide. Saint Ehn/as I call him/rocked our worlds with the power crafting and precision of this work. Deep long loud discussions where had. Beautiful food was consumed. Realizing that we were inside history in the making
we took a photo…

This is SUCH a beautiful photo — a real inspiration. I LOVE it that you share all these moments with us all. And when I need to remember who my peoples are, in moments I can’t be with you all, I come here to get a hit and a reminder. Yea!
Now I aint ever seen a photograph with such beautiful people in it before! makes me appreciate the saint more when he walks by me and yells “vicki grise is writing - dont speak to her,” even when i am sitting all alone. can not wait to see you in california.
