Dedicated to the celebration of everything that Michael represents. His hunger for knowledge, his sensitivity, his wisdom, and his innocence. His vulnerability, his intelligence and of course his genius. INNOCENCE BY MICHAEL JACKSON
It's easy to mistake being innocent for being simpleminded or naive. We all want to seem sophisticated; we all want to seem street-smart. To be innocent is to be "out of it"
Yet there is a deep truth in innocence. A baby looks in his mother's eyes, and all he sees is love. As innocence fades away, more complicated things take it's place. We think we need to outwit others and scheme to get what we want. We begin to spend a lot of energy protecting ourselves. Then life turns into a struggle. People have no choice but to be street-smart. How else can they survive?
When you get right down to it, survival means seeing things the way they really are and responding. It means being open. And that's what innocence is. It' simple and trusting like a child, not judgemental and committed to one narrow point of view. If you are locked into a pattern of thinking and responding, your creativity gets blocked. You miss the freshness and magic of the moment. Learn to be innocent again, and that freshness never fades.

Michael has been part of my life for over thirty years. His music was always there when I was young. I only remember how it would make me feel like dancing, life was a happy adventure in those days. As we both grew older, I started listening to the lyrics more and more, and I realised how special Michael was when I read Moonwalk. As life got more serious, I used his music as a way of keeping strong, and I really felt that he was an old friend. When I was lucky enough to see Michael three times in concert, I felt so priviledged, knowing that the opportunity was something that so many generations in the future would not be able to share. I remember writing him a long letter, and I was so amazed to get a signed photo from Michael, one of my most treasured possesions. When times got really bad for Michael I was so, so worried and felt so helpless. It made me realise just how strong my feelings were He has left us so very much, not just his amazing legacy of talent, but his messagee of love, tolerance and conservation. He really has helped to shape the person I am. I'm humbled in your grace Michael ♥
