 Editor’s note: Dear Friends, The events of the last few weeks have left all of us reeling and questioning the nature of man. Our 24-hour news media constantly streams violent acts across the globe and devotes its extensive power on focusing on our divisiveness, rather than our commonalities. Although we actually live in the least violent era of mankind, we are made to believe that the vicious cycle of violence will never end. What if the news media HAD to show one act of kindness for every act of violence it showed? How might that change our views about the world? –Ameeta |

I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we’re from, everyone loves music.
