Ah yes...love...the month during which we take that day to celebrate love.
Now of course, we can be cynical, making remarks about Hallmark holidays and everything. But for now, I just wish to get past the commerce and just think about the sentiment, the emotions we harbor towards our partners, our families, friends and all treasured beings that we each hold dearest to our hearts.
Think of those songs and albums that do indeed conjure up some of those same feelings and memories. In fact, take just five minutes to sit and ponder over those very songs and albums...then, find them and listen...
Listen...
Whatever has arrived in the listening, then let's apply it. I happen to love the following lyrics from Pete Townshend's song "Stop Hurting People":
"Love conquers poses.
Love smashes stances.
Love crushes angles..."
Yes...indeed, I LOVE those words and the thoughts they invoke inside of me.
When it all comes down to the pure essence of things, I do believe The Beatles were correct. ALL we need is love and just imagine what we could do if we simply LOVED....
Really...use those five minutes to think about those treasured songs and when you find them...PLAY LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Procol Harum "Whiter Shade of Pale"...could listen over and over (and I do!)
