Description

This vintage remix is in honor of my great grandmother and how she was compelled to deny her heritage to prosper on her cotton farm in the boot hill of Missouri. Although one look at her would tell the truth loud and clear, everyone was willing to look the other way as she brought much to their small community. She provided jobs and made medicines for them and helped deliver many of their children, while having and raising 13 children herself. This image is in her honor but it speaks to me in the present when I see my country in wars and I know in my heart there was a better way to get better results through friendship and helping each other. In accepting that we are all pieces of the big puzzle and we needn’t live with such greed and turmoil. Listening to those with different ways and trying hard to find the common grounds to build better for ourselves. Respecting that we can all have different stories but only when we become gentle and thoughtful will we feel tranquil and content.
