These are random musings of my life journey, the people, animals, places, and events which have woven, and continue to weave, a tapestry that is me. We all know there is no real destination, only the ongoing experiences which blend together, creating the trail. Each step gives a glimpse of what is to come, without allowing me to see the end result. It is exciting. I have a home base that is mine, that gives me a place to rest. This is it. This is where my heart is, no matter where I journey...................

Ohhhhh.

Look at this awesome video that I found at Nick's blog and promptly, unabashedly stole it. Do you remember Peter, Paul & Mary? I'll bet all of you remember "Puff the Magic Dragon." This is a song I've never heard, but what an awesome message. BTW, the man signing does such a good job making it look like music, also.

"Don't Laugh At Me" by Peter, Paul & Mary



You know, if they played this every morning in a classroom, I wonder how much difference it might make on the kids as they grown up. Certainly couldn't hurt.

  2. I LOVE this song--when it first came out by Mark Wills I listened to it all the time. They made a book out of it, too, I think.

  3. ok, so totally not funny, but i kept waiting for him to say something when he was like "i'm gay, straight, blah, born in Afghanistan . . " i was waiting for him to say something ridiculous that the guy couldn't sign . . .cause they kept looking at each other . . suppose it wasn't a funny moment kind of song . . .

    i have a few of their live kids albums and they have done stuff like that before . .

    he didn't, but i was thinking it and wanted to share. i feel better now.

  5. Thanks, Lynilu, for making excellent use of that video. I do really think it needs to be seen by millions of people.

  6. Yes, Nick, the message is excellent. I will unabashedly "steal" things like that when the message is really good. Thanks for posting it!
