So chilling. A woman alone trying to walk to her home. Not aggressive or confrontational; simply standing there - and the LAPD shot her (filmed the night before the LA curfew). I can’t get the horror of this out of my mind.

Lots of anxiety out there. Try this antidote - she helped me forget all that’s going on, and lifted me up. Beautiful, peaceful and powerful.
