So sad to hear of the untimely death of Sen. O’Neill.
His legacy will live on. His message about working together across party lines for the greater good and for the benefit of future generations was best expressed in his play, “Save the Bees! 🐝 “
Here’s a photo of the cast when he performed the play at Santa Fe Preparatory School in October. I loved how he interacted with the students and connected with the audience. I was part of the NM Listens team.
I often think of him when debates get heated, breathe, and reflect on what helps promote compromise and civil discourse.
The NM Humanities Council recorded the performance.
May he rest in peace in a flower-filled meadow enjoying the sunrise and breeze 🌞 🌻🐝 .
