"My eye trouble was the initial inspiration for the song's lyrics. But as I wrote them, the eye issue became a metaphor for lost innocence and for having seen too much: “Doctor, my eyes have seen the years / And the slow parade of fears without crying / Now I want to understand.”" Jackson Browne.

"Making the world a better place
doesn't have to come from grand gestures.
It comes from kind gestures.
Holding the door for someone.
Smiling at strangers.
Encouraging people in what they're doing.
Being bright with service staff.
Giving a compliment.
In all these small actions we inspire
love and understanding
which makes the world
a better place for us all."
Jenny Flintoff.

„When the power of love overcomes the love of power
the world will know peace.“
Jimi Hendrix (attributed).
Lay your burden down,
keep your heart wide open
and hear the sound... ♥️🙏

Here's to you, my dear friends and followers. Another song for change. Hope it inspires you and makes you feel - real good. ;D (Here's a raw translation of the verses in português brasileiro. Is there anybody out there wo can help me with the chorus? It's an Indian mantra that evokes the living God, asking protection and freedom from all sorrow and suffering.
Gotta polish up my sanskrit. Promise... ;) Ask God that mankind may find their lost steps and dreams awake those sleeping eyes. May love overflow and may we live in peace; When the days end with tired arms and luck just wanted to be on your side... May the pain not haunt me or cause me despair, Ask God... may he send us much wisdom from heaven. A true love, so no one goes hungry. A brotherly hug and may we live in peace when wars and poverty end:
Find joy amidst so much sadness. May light illuminate lost souls and (lead) a better future.
Let us stop talkin' falsely now - the hour's getting late...
"True peace is not merely the absence of war. It is the presence of justice."
Jane Addams.
Hold on. Change is still possible! ;)
love can conquer hate…
