September, 2007 update:
Check it out - pictures from the One Love Festival.
Check it out - pictures from Earth Dance.
Probably with all the Love and Earth and Dancing and Peace from ninth month, September, 2007, and those days together we had, we rocked the world some from right here in Hampton Roads, Virginia, USA.
And maybe if you are a dreamer, you'll see for the better we're moving it for all of mankind - joining with our brother and sister dreamers around the world.
Who are looking with us.
Beyond today.
Unto the seventh generation.
