 With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. Max Ehrmann, Desiderata

 Go placidly amid the noise and the haste and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. From 'Desiderata' - Max Ermann  30 years on from Tiananmen square Square
From a song I wrote at the time. Chinese whispers far away Brothers and sisters kneel to pray Chinese whispers silent hearts A quiet resistance blown apart A billion dreams - a billion lives Fire the flame in one boys eyes To face the tanks and die before He surrenders to the Dragon’s claw From our distance read the signs A nations heart lays on the line Brothers and sisters kneel to pray For Chinese whispers far away 'Chinese Whispers' From the Album 'For The World One Voice' 1990 - one of my favourite recordings. https://paulfield.bandcamp.com/album/for-the-world-one-voice |
