With great thanks to our constant community friend, Pastor Heger, for organizing our adventure to the Texas
Capitol. Through his outreach, our Beacon Hill choir was invited to the capitol to perform by Representative
Diego Bernal and Senator Jose Menendez. The very special day began with a charter bus ride to the Capitol.
The 3rd through 5th grades students toured by sta from Representative Bernals sta through both chambers of
the capitol and were able to see the legislature in session. While in the Senate viewing gallery, they were
recognized on the Senate floor by Senator Menendez; he also later signed autographs and took photos with the
students. Lunch was served in the Representatives lunch room. The children performed in both the interior
rotunda and the rotunda in the extension annex earning applause and accolades for their renditions of : Listen to
Me; Oye; Peaceful River; Hand Me Down; and Sing, Sing, Together. Truly this was a memorable experience!

Its June. Already.
June its a month of and a metaphor for significant endings and profound beginnings:
- Schools out and vacations freedom is here.
- Its Graduation almost limitless choices.
- June weddings bold promises.
- And the Texas Legislators will finish, and go home.
If you could get the last word, what would you say to these key participants in Junes transitions? What would
you tell the Legislators, as they finish this 84th Session and leave Austin? What did you say to our students and
teachers, on their last day? How would you honor and challenge our graduates and send them off to shape an
uncertain future? What would you proclaim, if you were me, on Saturday the 6th, when I witness the bold vows of the
precious daughter of dear old friends, in Austin, and her amazing beloved, and celebrate their joy as they exchange
promises and share lives and love? What would you say? Advice? Wisdom? Cautions? Challenges? Warnings?
At least, give them all more than trite bromides, please. None of us want to hear tired warmed-over
commencement clichs ever again: dream big, work hard, and follow your passion. Please, preach a better
sermon than a father knows best, finger-wagging, Now, just dont go to sleep angry, you two! You can do better.
They deserve better. What would you say?
Look quietly, deeply, inside. Inside yourself. Listen. Thats where truth resides. What are you saying to
yourself? How are you making sense of todays tumultuous transitions? What story about change are you telling
yourself? Because, of course, its June for you, too. Lots of little endings and quiet beginnings. Simultaneously. And
you are and our beloved Beacon Hill is also buffeted by huge changes, too: sometimes subtle, like a slowly
infuriatingly growing pot hole on Michigan Avenue, sometimes jaw-dropping-instant, like the Blanco Rivers Memorial
Day devastating surge.
How do you make sense, for yourself, of the changes? What would you say, in your commencement address
or your wedding homily? What stories, what authentic stories that have touched you deeply, would you tell?
I might, if I were quietly honest, point to two timely, very local, story symbols of beginnings and endings:
- Our easily taken-for-granted, and lost in the false stereotypes, urban neighborhood school, Beacon Hill
Elementary, where economic realities shape and limit everything. Our State Representative and our State
Senator invited our Beacon Hills choir to come to the Capitol and sing and they sang their hearts out! They
had an amazing adventure tangible history, timely recognition, enthusiastic applause. Old limits, transcended.
A fitting end to a school year. Pointing to a hopeful beginning. Its June.
- An easily overlooked aging couple of quiet, everyday Beacon Hill neighbors, for whom serious illness
dominates everything. They almost lost their home! Some neighborhood folk thought enough of them and their
plight to find a way to save their home from demolition and provide a way for them to we promise! celebrate
this coming Christmas together in their renovated home. Old limits, transcended. A fitting new beginning, not a
tragic ending. Its June.
Id tell those two stories. Theyre real. Theyre our stories. What stories are you telling?
Thanks, Tom Heger: neighbor, retired Presbyterian pastor and never-retired story-teller: tjheger@flash.net
Beate Marzec and Simone Sauceda met over 10 years ago while working at a yarn store. They eventually decided to
start a business together-a yarn store that was more than just a yarn store. They characterize the Chicks Nest as a
COMMUNITY HANG OUT SPOT for knitters. So they
filled the space with beautiful antique furniture,
handmade curtains, and yummy homemade pastries.
The coffee was delicious, the music soothing and the
colors were everywhere. Silk yarns, baby yarns, multicolored yarns and books to show you how to make all
things yarn. The two women have built their dream
spot with obvious
creativity. They
offer classes of all
sorts for beginners,
people with
intermediate skills
and folks who just
want to learn a
specific project, like
how to make a hat.
Students can bring their own yarn (many stores require you to purchase their yarn
for a class). They even have a student who is a recovering stroke victim. Doctors
recommend knitting as a way to reconnect the brain to the hands. Details of
classes are available on their Facebook page where you check out their shop. But
dont just gaze from afar. You HAVE to go visit them and hang out. Another great
home-grown business from Beacon Hill neighbors who are waiting to meet you
and share their passion for yarn and pastries
