I was listening to music as I worked today and this song came on. There was so much of it that seemed relevant to today, but a couple of lines in particular that stood out to me.
This fear what we feed on is what´s keeping us apart
The song poses the idea that fear results in us being angry amongst other things. It got me thinking about all the anger we see, particularly in the USA. Could this be about fear, maybe. I certainly think there is a lot of fear going round. And the drip drip niggles of some politicians do little to reduce the level of fear – in fact they often make it worse.
There were other lines that spoke to me – about the vanity of looking for a sign and the loneliness caused by our love of stuff. But the effect of fear was the thing that jumped out.
Sometimes when we know we are about to crash and burn it can be important to build hope.
Did you know 9th October was International Beer and Pizza day – I celebrated by ordering a pizza (cheese free) from Papa John.
October 10th is World Porridge Day – so you know what to have for breakfast….
