so so true Chris - greedy fat bankers destroyed economies, doctors bled a drowning system often for own ends adn how the press and politicians hand in hand manipulate what we are told with a needs must - needs being theirs - brilliant Chris couldn't agree more - Lib

Delete'Falling' - Lib
Oh, not a problem Lib! That happens to all of us at one time or another. Just glad you liked the composition and responded to it!
DeleteBest regards,
Roger ☺
I've enjoyed what you posted today, thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Lon! Glad you've '...enjoyed' this presentation for our Wendesday Wake-Up Call, and thank you for letting me know.
DeleteBest regards,
Roger ☺
This is so powerful...I am afraid we are like Nero...only we text while America burns
ReplyDeleteThanks Susie! Glad you found this, "...so powerful!" Yup, many are so distracted by their toys they lose sight of what's really important. One day, they're going to wake-up though. Hopefully before it's too late!
DeleteThanks again Susie!
Roger ☺
Tears, Roger...seriously....moved beyond words over this one! Unite!
ReplyDeleteThis composition took a bit of a shift from the 'triplet' form Natasha. Incorporated a little Tarot (metaphysics) with the Tower, which came to me in a visualization. The verse spun from the Tower, then came Hedge's quote and the Chaplin video, which held a 'ray' of hopefulness within its message.
DeleteThanks again Natasha...let your light so shine through the storm clouds and bring us to a New Dawn! Unite!
Roger ☺
Wonderfully creative piece Roger. Love the tarot intro hear, and the quote, very true, sadly enough. Outstanding piece. Thanks
ReplyDeleteHey Fred!
DeleteThanks so much for stopping by and seeing my latest composition and finding it to be an 'outstanding' piece! Really appreciate your input!

@topherMario and I were discussing last night if it will all truly come down to a necessary destruction of half of everything for mankind to stop making so much noise in our lives and return to listening to the rocks, trees & oceans to rediscover our place in the universal movement forward.
ReplyDeleteHey yah Scott!
DeleteI was just thinking about you today! Guess there are no coincidences.
Sounds like that must have been an interesting convo with @topherMario! Unfortunately, it might come to that to wake-up the money-mongers. However, there has been so much damage done, that some think we've already reached the 'tipping' point!
The weather up here in SE Michigan has been erratic for over 3 years now. Almost like nature is trying to restore balance, but is unable to. This is 'not' the Michigan I grew up in.
Thanks for stopping by! Nice to hear form you!
