In this brief spoken dedication, Dr. Emmett Miller begins with a guided moment of silence, encouraging listeners to turn inward, breathe, and open their hearts. He then honors Christina Green—born on September 11, a patriotic individual who wore red, white, and blue and was receiving an award from Representative Gabrielle Giffords—as well as Representative Giffords herself, a federal judge, and the four other victims of the Arizona shooting. Miller expresses gratitude that the shooter was unable to reload and that the audience is present, extending thanks for the community, life, and the potential within each person to foster peace, survivability, and sustainability. The dedication frames the event as a tribute to these individuals and a call to appreciate and uphold shared values.

Chapters

So I'd like to just kind of begin with a moment of silence. I think many of you know me and you know that it's my habit to begin with some silence and to reflect upon our inner experience. That any inner experience that we have as a result of who we are and how we have come into contact with the world around us. Just a moment of silence and breathing and to allow yourself to be present here and to open your heart. And to feel for Christina Green, Representative Giffords, for the federal judge, and the other 4 who were murdered in Arizona. Christina Green, as most of us know by now, was born on 9/11, wore red, white, and blue whenever possible, was very, very patriotic. And had come to receive an award from Representative Gifford. And just to experience a moment of appreciation, silence, whatever you do when you consider. Because I'm playing for her tonight, and I'd like to dedicate this experience to her because she believed. And let us also take a moment to experience gratitude that the shooter did not, in fact, have an opportunity to reload. And also a moment of gratitude that we are here. Gratitude for this life that we have, for this incredible community that we have together. For the potential that each of us has within to create peace, survivability, sustainability. Thank you.
