        from Marisa Corti
        re: little Missy

        Hi everyone,
        I just wanted to share my pride with all my friends.
        My daughter Marisa is part of this dedicated team.



Three poems - from our own Hillary Fajardo...

 

                  Voices of the Rain

Be quiet …. shh … listen.
Can’t you hear the rain?
Listen quietly and you will.
It makes noise… a pattern… no… voices.
Voices of you, me, and life. The voices of… EVERYONE.
Rain is gentle, yet fierce.
It can change its mood from being soft, gentle, to fierce,
and dangerous, in a heartbeat.
Rain is the voice of SO many people.
Voices of people who are hurt,
in pain, angry, and mourning.
So many voices and faces go by unseen and unheard;
so many beautiful faces go by unseen… so… invisible.
The whole world is nothing but rain.
Voices of me, voices of you, rain becomes music.
Give compassion and you would be someone
helping one of those voices of the rain.
Listen silently, patiently
… and there for you will hear.
 
         - Hillary Fajardo
 
 
 
                         The Sound of the World
Music is the sound of the world. It tells a story…no it weaves one.
It can tell a story of love, hate, hope, faith, and trust. It tells a story with words, or music,
but with feeling, and emotion, it may tell a story, even though it is one.
It can paint a picture to who we really are, or it can paint a beautiful scenery.
Music is something we are all drawn to. By the music we make it reveals the person we truly are.
Music draws different kinds of people, people who are passionate, deserving,
and who have crossed paths with, and who appreciate it.
If you knew my heart can sing, you will either look at me either with pure admiration or… hate.
Though we may speak in different tongues, be of a different race, our hearts beat as one, as a family.
Our voices should speak out TOGETHER. Music can tell a story about everything.
There is always something music can do to a person…
music is Magic, Undeniable, Soft, Instinctive, and Courageous (M.U.S.I.C).
 
                                 Musician’s feel
Music has a wonderful effect on our life.
The walk, the path we create, the people we meet,
are truly something wonderful. We have created many
valuable friends during our walk. People who share the same
passion we have, who have a wonderful effect on our music making,
are people who are truly inspirational and influential. Always
be full of ideas and suggestions. Show compassion to others, and
mostly, yourself. The people you are friends with now,
can be the reason of your life, and who are the friends
you will make in a lifetime. The people you cross paths
with, may as well be the people you will have grown to
love in a lifetime. Love and friendship are the key things
to have in the life walk of a musician. We have our different
paths of music, both different, yet unique. We cross with each
other with our own paths, entwining like a silken harmony.
We are ALL lovers of MUSIC!!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!
~Hillary :-)
