![]() Introduction “There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.” ~ John Lennon Photography by Diana Mary Sharpton This said it is Rock and Roll time. Music is a language and these are my words for this night. The artist I have chosen is none other than Robert Clark "Bob" Seger (born May 6, 1945) who is also a favorite musician. His music is hard-hitting rock, which speaks to the everyday person and their emotions. A singer-songwriter, guitarist, and pianist Bob is from the great state of Michigan USA and the song is title “John Fogerty & Bob Seger - Who'll stop the rain”. It is raining Days cast into the obscurity of night; it rains Minding; darkness curves hues in gray light, it rains Standing at the door deluge captures sight; it rains Looking out a picture window, ready for flight it rains He is sure there is more, but it keeps raining The earth is soaked to its core, yet it keeps raining Melancholy, he appears to me Like the imprisoned bird begging to be free Drip…drip…slow…then fast Echo to a tin pan’s constant splash Troubled not vigilant, adrift but alive Embellished and trying to survive Covering opinion it is raining; lost to suspect In ritual, it just keeps raining meddling in aspect He comprehends, the damp in explorations Drip…Drip, leisurely, then rapid vibrations In a relentless splatter It really does not matter As a muted night lapses into a miserable day After all, it is in the indifference when it rains Diana Mary Sharpton ~ ©All Rights Reserve 2015 I no longer accept blame without justification, allow disrespect without retort, accept manipulation to cloud the issues or truth without a personal commitment on speaking out concerning facts and finally I will not beat myself up for any of the above. Glory is God and righteous indignation! Thank you for your continued support. I pray you are having a blessed evening or morning. Peace and Love Always Diana References: 1.)

Diana Mary Sharpton“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.” Categories
