Don't Give Up!

Shalom,

While driving home this evening I listened to a song I didn't realize was on my USB flash drive. Peter Gabriel's 'Don't Give Up' which moved me. I wanted to share this song with all those who are going through a tough time at this moment. I know several people who are dealing with issues which are earth-shattering. Life and death, sickness and health, happiness and depression, each of the extremes of life present themselves in their allotted times.

Listen to this and let your soul expand.

This Styx song from the 80s 'Fooling Yourself (Angry Young Man)' remains one of my favorites. Styx was the 1st band I ever saw live (when I was only 16 years old)...

When the song 'Touch of Grey' came out it was an instant hit. This was novel for the Grateful Dead to have an album, and a song, go straight to the top of the charts. But then again some people don't believe in miracles.

Whenever this song comes on the radio it revives my spirit.

One thing which has always worked for me when I am feeling challenged is to contemplate the entire creation, from the expanse of the universe to the miniature creatures which inhabit our world. Nature is a humbling experience, placing the human being in perspective to the awesomeness of the infinite creator.

Nature contains the cycles of the planets and stars, the rise and fall of the temperature and the tides, and the changing of the seasons. Animal life is impacted by the cycles of nature and life and death hangs in the balance. It is beautiful to watch and at the same time it touches an inner part of the soul in a way which is difficult to describe.

I find these High Definition nature clips to be inspiring. Sometimes we use these clips at my work for demonstrating our decoders on HDTV's (even the new 4k2k videos).

One more...

My friends son exposed this video to me when they visited last week. As a cat lover myself I find it awesome when we can see how big cats and small cats share a great deal of personality. In this video a man in Africa has domesticated lions and can have a relationship with these big cats which we do not see often.
