Reading @lymepoet’s post about Montreal street art made me think of this video by Michael Franti, a powerful song echoing a call for change that has been chanted throughout time.
"Same As It Ever Was"
via Youtube, by Michael Franti & Spearhead, ft. Agape Choir
Have a listen. He's one of my favourite musicians, largely because his music is a force that brings people together.
Here are some thoughts, inspired by this song...
Building bridges of kindness.
It can be discouraging when crypto prices fall, or when posts don't get as much attention as we'd like, but this platform is powerful because of the way it brings people together. If we focus on that, we'll all have more fun as we support each other.
Every time we make a friend on Steemit or Discord, the world becomes a friendlier place. Differences don’t seem as important as the things we share in common. We learn about each other’s cultures, listen to each other’s voices, care about each other's lives. We build bridges of kindness.
The more we participate in changing the world, the more we see the change.
It's real. It's happening. Keep believing!
We Are the Change
The world has been divided by fear for too long.
Patriarchy and prejudice do not serve us.
Us, the citizens of planet Earth.
Now, we reach across the globe,
Across nations, paying no heed to borders.
Here, we reach out to each other, saying,
“Peace, Brother. Peace, Sister.”
And the world becomes smaller.
Stronger.
I am the change. You are the change. We are the change.
