“Music has always been the essence of everything to me, the gateway to my soul and spirit. It’s been a kiss on my forehead in tough times, a scream of rage when I was overwhelmed and worn out, a shelter when I felt alone and desperate, a scream for love in other times. It’s the universal language we speak when words are not enough, a way to commune together, to feel alive, to reach and feel the inner depth of our hearts without the need to decipher all of its complexity.” – Ben

Today is the international day against cyber bullying, a reality that is more and more present, and that some of you may be victims of. In a desire to stand against such thing, but also to send out our support to those who suffer from it, Ben created a playlist of a few songs that have always been a huge support for him. When words are lacking, there’s always music. May those songs be a balm on your heart the same way it has been for Ben!

Our Spotify playlist has just been updated by Jeff and Sef with some “stadium songs”! As you may know, both are following the NBA Finals as their respective teams, the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers, are part of it. Rivalry has followed, and the one who loses the finals will have to dress up as a clown for a few days! But despite all the rivalry going on, there’s one place where we can all get along; music! Enjoy the songs… can you guess who chose what? 😉

A text by Alex in answer to the Manchester events:

Every morning following such a horrifying display of disasters, might they be perpetuated in familiar places or far away, reminds us how fragile gathering peace and communal empathy look like before the implacable nature of hatred… How the price for forgiveness and love seem to be more and more difficult to pay for people of good will… as we are to be facing the most horrible fears and dreads there is, which is to become the same monsters we are now so deeply despising… At least that’s always my personal decision to make.
