Opening line: "I have a dream for the world..." Donny Hathaway sings about a world where people show the love they often speak of. A world where there are no materials more valuable than a person's life. This is one of my favorite Donny Hathaway songs because it speaks to my heart. My dream for the world is for us to show compassion to one another. My dream is for a world that gives love that heals, nurtures our soul and makes us feel connected. My prayer is for a humanitarian spirit; accepting others for who they are and not what we expect them to be. For religions not to divide and cause wars, for governments that really are for the people. Yes, I know we have a group of people who commit to doing these acts daily and I am grateful to what you give the world. But if as a whole we did something simple like smile at a person passing by that would be a great place to start. I know this may seem far fetch to some, but can't a girl dream:) Below is a line from Donny Hathaway’s classic “Sack Full of Dreams”. Listen to the lyrics; let it meditate on your heart. Enjoy…
I got a dream for the world
Peace in the rivers and everywhere
Bridges of steel and love and cities that smile
Gray empty faces walk by
And hands try to hide all the loneliness
Lighting a cigarette to blow time away
Lost in the noise, lonely as a wind
People on sidewalks with no place to go
Can they learn to understand
The world of love that I'm dreaming
The world of love
blessings....
