Deborah Ellerman reads a "One World, One Heart"
One World, One Heart is written by Susan Polis Schutz.
I've been reading her beautiful poetry since she founded Blue Mountain Arts decades ago. She has the nicest way of expressing
human values and emotion of anyone on the planet. At the ceremony,
her booklet with this and other poems was being handed out. It is FREE. She wants to give away 1 million copies of this.

The dream goes on.
Great voice, great music, great moment.

The dream of freedom for all people will never perish from the earth.
Terrorists, tyrants, and evil will never defeat it.

I am deeply grateful to all of those who made this evening happen, especially Mary VanDoozer and the City of Arvada Interfaith Choice. I am proud to be an American,
