every year at this time it has become a ritual for me to turn to our music and reflect on my life in this moment…which is truly wonder-full!
as i get into the groove something that strikes me is the comfort i feel as i know i'm not alone in life...i’m so fortunate to be loved by my hubby my baby my step-son and a great array of family and friends…and this brings me such joy that when i'm up (i can't get down) ...
while thinkin’ of thoughts to share suddenly i see ...a positive focus on life is one thing that has been very helpful in times of trouble ...and I have found that there are stories and songs which weave a ballad of human kindness … and legacies of amazing folks like mother jones…the most dangerous woman in the world…who agitate things in a good way...
these tales and tunes inspire me and help me stay grounded in my values when i’m feelin’ the hell of watching the blind leading the blind in our world...leading us down a path of mass destruction of our only mama earth…i’m hope-full ‘cuz i know there are also many creative visionaries in every community…workin’ for sustainability for all generations…
my main message for Sasha and Ché…and all of the nieces and nephews in my heart…the future and present youth of a nation...is to stand up for what you believe in...even though you can't always get what you want...there is nothing to be gained by complaining and sittin’ around waiting on the world to change...
the positive power of the people has made a difference in the past…continues to make a difference in the present…and will be the difference for the future...one day we’ll look back and see not only the day the world said stop the war…but also the many many days and all the hard work it took to end it…and all the agents for positive change it took to get it done…to keep getting’ it done…
like all of life’s cycles things have a way of comin’ full circle... you reap what you sow…call it karma if you like…so that’s why I continue to spread my seeds of small positive actions and will always look on the bright side of life...
thanks for bein’ a part of my wonder-full world! cheers!
much love & many hugs
Kathy
