Magic Ninety

Magic Ninety
Pete Seeger turns 90 today, May 3rd and he's still performing; on Tuesday [March 24], poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti turned 90–together they make 180.

Eighteen is Chai/Life and that these two luminaries should both turn 90 on each coast of our country is notable. Pete Seeger famous for his lifetime devotion to the Hudson River and Lawrence Ferlinghetti a lifetime bohemian-poet come to San Francisco after being one of the first people to enter Hiroshima after the atom bomb was exploded, were born only a couple of months apart–twins.

America can celebrate these two soldiers of peace who arise at Chai/Life together like two hands holding our country together in this special time when our president rules whose name translates into Blessed Leader.

The end is over; a new beginning has begun.
