Something sweet to soothe your troubled brow.

The other day as I was searching for information to update my post about the Boston Marathon bombing, I found myself becoming very upset.

I felt I needed a break from all of the pain, fear, and despair. After awhile I started to become numb.

So I pulled my eyes away from the images played over and over again in a loop on cable news and looked for something to make me feel....well....something.

That is when I stumbled upon this YouTube site.

I of course cannot guarantee that it will make you feel better as well, but right now it is the best I have to offer. Just take a moment, clear you mind, and listen.
Namaste my friends. Tomorrow we will take up our shields and wade into the battle yet again, but for tonight let our final thoughts be thoughts of peace.

    Thank you, Gryphen. It's been a tough week.

    Although...the picture of Martin makes me cry...but inspires me.

    1. The picture of Martin made me tear up, as well. His mother and one sister were badly injured and are still in the hospital.

    Martin's sign was made after a classroom lesson about the death of Trayvon Martin. That fact alone made me cry.

      I didn't know that, thanks. I'm so sad for that family and what they have to endure now and in the future.

  6. Oh they are wonderful. Made me think of Kate and Anna McGarrigle, which led to Martha Wainwright, which led to Rufus Wainwright . . .

    How lucky we are to have music to soothe us . . . and inspire us . . . And stir us to action.
