We've Got The Power

Helen ~ Photographer

"War is over! If you want it."
John Lennon & Yoko Ono

"People you've got the power over what we do
You can sit there and wait or you can pull us through"
 Jackson Browne


we fall apart from within

unable to sing in unison

disparate notes 

create off-key harmonies

we seek unity in our lives

to sing as one

    You know, I have three daughters who love to sing but do it in totally different ways. Though I’m hopeful that today’s discordance just may become tomorrow’s choir.

    I didn't get anything written for this -- but you, my dear, wrote a memorable poem! So much truth within your lines!!

    Not only beautiful but wise! (I was meaning the poem – but it could also apply to you yourself.)

    Love these lines, Helen. Short and sweet but with a clear message!

    Haha! Mrs. Jim and I both need between two on key singers for us to keep on tone. We are hilarious when we try singing together. Like the kids above.

    Some sweet harmony would be welcome after the discord of the last few years

    And without that unity, all could be lost...
