My dear friends, for those of you who know me well, you know I've been compiling inspirational music playlists for 20 years. For many years I compiled playlists and shared them as gifts. Now we have Spotify (and I've become lazy!). I offer this to you as a gift if you'd like to 'follow'.
I know, it's a long list. 6 Hours! But every morning I play at least one song to remind me, to inspire me. No 'news'. Just music...I hope some of these will bring you hope, joy, and a reminder of what's possible.
And these profoundly true lyrics by James Taylor .....from my heart to yours....shed alot of light!
With Love and Blessings, Beth
SHED A LITTLE LIGHT, JAMES TAYLOR, 1991(!)
Let us turn our thoughts today to Martin Luther King And recognize that there are ties between us All men and women living on the Earth Ties of hope and love, sister- and brotherhood That we are bound together In our desire to see the world become A place in which our children Can grow free and strong We are bound together By the task that stands before us And the road that lies ahead We are bound and we are bound There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist There is a hunger in the center of the chest There is a passage through the darkness and the mist And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest Shed a little light, oh Lord (shed a little light, oh Lord) So that we can see (oh now) Just a little light, oh Lord (shed a little light, oh Lord) I want to stand it on up (stand it on up, oh Lord) Stand it on up, oh Lord (yeah now) I want to walk it on down (oh shed a little light) Shed a little light, oh Lord Can't get no light from the dollar bill Don't give me no light from a TV screen (no, no, no, no) When I open my eyes I wanna drink my fill From the well on the hill (I know ya know what I mean) Shed a little light, oh Lord (shed a little light, oh Lord) So that we can see (ah ah yeah) Just a little light, oh Lord (shed a little light, oh Lord, oh now) I want to stand it on up (stand it on up) Stand it on up, oh Lord (yeah now) I want to walk it on down (oh shed a little light) Shed a little light, oh Lord .
