"Whisper Something Soft and Kind"
Taking a Mental Break
Growing up in the 1970s, I listened to a lot of music featuring singer-songwriters like James Taylor. I recall having “James Taylor’s Greatest Hits” as well as “JT” (which featured the hit single “Handy Man”).
I stumbled across this James Taylor concert today on YouTube at the BBC in 1970. As I was listening this morning, I was struck by the lyric “Whisper something soft and kind.”
What a contrast to today’s message, which seems to be “Yell something hard and mean.” Preferably backed up by a gun.
We need to get back to a time when love was openly espoused (if not always embraced). A time when we can whisper something soft and kind.
I hope you have a few minutes to listen to this magical concert by James Taylor.
Thanks Bill - always like hearing the sweet baby James. Reflection and kindness come through silence and whispers. We need more of both.
I am bit older than you. I sometimes go back to John Denver "Country Road..." when I need a break from the insanity that is TACO always fouls up (TAFU) .... USA.
"Country Road take me home" was appealing in summer 1971.
With that is "Thank God I'm a country boy!"
