there's a chance we may learn more about the power we have as intelligent, compassionate and caring people.
We may look back on this century - the people we gave power to, who insulted us and all living creatures on this planet, and any others out there.
We may disdain the narcissists who are trying to bury our collective engagements with the well being of life here, the encouragement and love poured into public education, health, entertainment and philosophy.
Look at what has been achieved by those who dared to think outside the box of fashion and entertainment. The work done by those who chose to support a better way than the isolated ego of smooth tongues and pretty gadgets.
Men and women who dare to reveal their true feelings, workers who speak truth to power, creative minds who invent things that benefit people regardless of whether they know them or not.
When I was in school, a teacher organized a choir. I joined and found there was something I could do. Prior to that, I had absorbed the sentiments of the time. Going to hell in a hand basket. The first time I felt I had something to offer the world, being part of an organized group, contributing to the world through my voice and commitment. Thank you Mr. Davies.
Listening to the news is grim, as though our future is what "experts" claim, and there is nothing I can do. As though humanity has nothing to offer in the way of hope.
Love dwells in the songs of people who are willing to express their best selves contributing to humanity.
All the fanfare, fame and news reports have been created by humans. In the choir there are many voices all required, no competition, no vanity or ego elevating. It is a beautiful thing.
You are needed here as long as you care for the world, but we have a lot of work to do.
