Come on! I dare You! Join with me, and our Neighbors, from around our little planet, and I dare You to try, to go away, not singing this as you go. You singing it right there ... me singing it here ... our Spirits rocking and swaying together across all of those puny boundaries that would keep us apart. I like it!!

By the way ... Have I told You, lately, that I love You?
Well ... consider it said.

Incredible!
Regardless of the images we are faced with every day, there is still so much good in the world. These are the little things that remind me of this.
Thank you my friend for the smile it gave me.
Namaste'

You have reminded me, my Dear Friend, of Elie Wiesel's response to Charlie Rose ... when Rose asked him if he was discouraged by Mankind's refusal to learn Life's lessons as offered in The Holocaust (which Wiesel experienced as a 16 year old young man.)
Wiesel replied that he was saddened by Man's repeat of genocidal hatred, and ethnic bigotry in all of the years and places that it has been ... and is continuing to be ... repeated. Then (with the most beautiful smile and gleam in his eye) he said, "but in spite of it all, my favorite words are ... 'AND YET ...'"
So, Dear Roger, in the spirit of this wonderful Man, I respond to your reference to those "images we face every day," with my own "and yet ... " in the form of this lovely shared experience in Spirit and Song.

Lovingly ...
John-Michael, isn't this just the most wonderful thing? I've seen it before but will watch it over and over because it's HOPE.
Can't ever have too much or give up too much hope.
Thank you!
Though I, too, my Darling NiteByrd, had been captured by this before ... I simply would not deny my Self the Tears of Joy, and Song of Unity, that it always brings to my Soul. So, when it appeared in today's offering on Gimundo, I HAD TO share it with All who my Heart would include in a Chorus of Harmonious Love. (YEP!! You, my Precious, are right there!! [smile])
I love YOU ...
this is just so worthy of repeat. as the others have said, the hope there-in is so uplifting. the first time i saw it was in a pal's post under the title "if musicians ran the world." :)
thanks again. love ya.
If The World would but open its Realm of Awareness
to the Music ... Oh what a beautiful experience life would be!!
So ... I propose that we just KEEP SINGING! (Some of that World will have to hear. [grin])
Sure do love You, Sweet Lime ...
No matter how many times I see this - I still am amazed.
Thank you for bringing it back to me once more. It never - ever - hurts.
Mwah!
EVERY element of this piece grabs my Being and awakens me afresh and anew ... each time I am reminded of it. I am so happy to know that You and I are engaged in the flow and Joy of it ... TOGETHER ... my Most Precious Aims.
(And your "Mwah!" found a lovingly receptive Heart!!)
I do love You so ...
This actually made me cry.
No kidding.
A classic tune - if it can't reach inside you and yank your very soul up by its most tender parts and remind you what it means to be a fragile human one should wonder if they have the right parts left.
Sometimes music will just pop out at you and remind you that being human is okay.
Know what I mean?
Yes, my Darling Heather, I do, indeed, know precisely what you mean. And I do treasure our many years of sharing occasions of that Understanding. Thank you, Dear Friend, for, once again, joining me in a moment of realized Beauty.
Lovingly ...
Thanks, John-Michael! Very nice of you to direct me here, and the joy was heartfelt once I arrived.
Bless you!
The thought of you and me sharing in this 'Moment,' SulDog, gives cause for a satisfied grin of camaraderie and unity of Spirit. I thoroughly enjoy all of whatever we share.
Lovin' You, Jim ...
John-Michael,
Although I have seen this before, it is mesmerizing. What a wonderful collection of various artists all bringing "joy, hope, and peace" to the world!
Thank you for the beautiful reminder.
Carole
I do hope that this piece continues its "resurfacing" forever, Dear Carole. I will never tire of its reminder to celebrate "Connection" in loving kinship with the World around me. I thank You for joining in.
The beautiful Connection that you and I have enjoyed, for all of these decades, is such a treasured element of my life!
I love You ...
