TURBULENT TIMES
~We Always have Been, We Always will Be~
I find myself so pulled by the negativity and awful events taking place in our world nowadays. Sometimes it’s so overwhelming that I can’t really breathe.
I can’t fathom or wrap my head around the level of inhumanity, greed, vileness, evil, violence, crime, injustice and so much more that inhabits this world.
Music helps me.
Here’s an example.

Reblogged this on Filosofa's Word and commented:
It has been yet one more week that has bombarded our sensibilities with hate, with ugliness, with things that we didnโt think could happen, couldnโt possibly even imagine two years ago. The โmanโ in the Oval Office was allowed out of the Oval Office to travel abroad, where he left a trail of offal, for lack of a better word. Today, I think we all need a break from it, and our very dear friend Dr. Horty Rex has provided a most wonderful and apt respite that I would like to share with you all this afternoon. Thank you, Horty, for this beautiful song to remind us, to give us hope for the future, and for implied permission to share.

At times, my manners are appalling. I was a visitor here yesterday, sent by Jill’s reblog of this wonderful post. I wrote a comment on her blog and neglected to write one on yours. I must make amends this morning. Thank-you so very much for sharing this magnificent production! It moves me to tears every single time that I watch it.

Dear Horty,
What a treat at a bleak time in history. These artists of all backgrounds and colors did a superb job of lifting us up with their performance of “We are the World.”
