I Want...




Two happenings today that inspired tonight's note. I was having my hair done at the salon and was sitting by a full plate glass window when two little guys wandered by on their way to the movie theatre next door. We had quite the non-verbal conversation till their mother laughing, pulled them on their way. I had a big smile on my face too.

Someone connected me to John Denver's mid-70s song written for a benefit dedicated to children, called "I Want To Live". It is a wonderful song, full of word images, pleas and still as appropriate today as it was 30 years ago:

"...I want to live, I want to grow
I want to see, I want to know
I want to share what I can give
I want to be, I want to live ...."

This picture of a brother and sister was taken a couple of weeks ago and seemed to fit that spirit.
