I've made some new friends and I have just finished making them a mix of songs that have either been with me a long time, or have touched my soul as of recent months.
Kyle and Christine are lovers of the same Gd and live just across a four foot "street" on campus. Besides Gd, they are lovers of laughter and joy. They give encouragement where it is needed. They are young in age, but not in spirit I am sure!

Music is so real.
I love listening to mixes like this on my ipod, when I am lying down somewhere that is quiet and vacant. This mix is an hour and five minutes. And I think it's worth at least that much to just lie there and fall into the sound and be free.
If you don't know these songs, you should listen to them- but ONLY if you really, truly listen to it. I am going to give Kyle and Christine one rule: the first time they listen to these tracks, they have to really listen and to it all in one sitting.
Shabbat Shalom!
