and taking the negative things and erasing it
Refuse to let it...

Flava flav, Run DMC,
Digital Underground.
The early 90's I found hip hop.

Jesus’ Acts of Healing

There never were any miraculous healings

HARK
~~~~~

Hark! The world, it cries!
Cries for all of life!

Life without nature can't
exist. A plan, a fact, yes.
