This brought me immediately to tears. Beautiful heart, gorgeous lyrics from a genuine and sparkling soul. Thank you, Seila, and thank you Anand for sharing this heartfelt story with us.

I have always loved that song and her rendition only pulls it deeper into my heart. Gratitude to her for this gift, to your father for asking her to sing it for the occasion, and to you for sharing it with us!

“Perhaps this is the kind of gift you get when you put a work of love out into the world”💯Yes! Blessing you dear Anand💛 gift that you are!💝 A box arrived late this afternoon from McNally Jackson! My two signed books no doubt. With great restraint, I’m saving the box to open first thing tomorrow. Early in the morning before hubby wakes up. So I can sit down immediately with my mug of hot tea and read, undisturbed, for a couple of hours! Goodnight now, with love🌺

What a beautiful moment at a book signing!! All of us have talents and if we allow them to flourish, we will have a harmonious society. I got the book and will start reading this weekend. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing both the story, and Siedah singing her song! It brought tears to my eyes! Wow!

Siedah showed in the serendiptious singing of the song she wrote displayed her passion and belief in the words.

We could all learn from those words and apply them to our lives every day, particularly NOW!

Oh, man. Sitting here on my lunch break at the library, tears running into my soup. Particularly getting hit with those beautiful lyrics looking out the window on this sunny day in Michigan, watching a homeless patron sitting outside on our picnic table. Thank you Anand, & thank you universe.

Posting on social media is a bad idea for this cowboy but here goes.

I haven't always agreed with brother Anand. But I've never stopped reading his words. Because the brother sees it and tells it. Like in his seminal book 'Charade, that I've quoted many times.

And I'm proud to say I have one, maybe the only one, of an NFT he did.

Brother if you see this I hope you and your familia are well. Come back to CO soon. I'd love to meet ya.

Until then,
