Sawyer Brown's Message About Compassion

Music has a powerful way of moving hearts and souls!

When I came across this video clip and had a listen throughout Sawyer Brown’s song, entitled “They Don’t Understand,” I knew I had to share it with you. What he sings about in the song reflects in ALL of our lives… love and loss, and the lack of tolerance by so many people in our fast-moving world today.



The use of the rushing river and emotional images helps this song to be powerful in imagery, and the words make it a healing song, too. Watch this touching 4:15 minute video clip, listen carefully to each of the words, and ask yourself how you respond when faced with similar situations… crying babies and slow drivers, etc.

Though the last part of the song has an overt message of spirituality in it, I urge you to do as I did... take the greater message of having loving compassion for all persons. Isn't that what spirit is all about, anyways.

I believe that if all of us were to slow down somewhat in our lives, heighten our compassion and consider the drama-filled life stories that others around us are enduring in their lives… we’d create an entirely more loving world to live in.

Thanks to Sawyer Brown for reminding us of this important message. Click on this link to view;

Hugs For A Healthy World

Thanks for visiting. Smile!

Each of us has the ability to reach out and make a difference in the world and in the lives of others, whether it be through a kind act or volunteering, or something as unusual as offering a stranger a hug. I laughed (and also felt sad) as I watched this 3:30-minute video, link below. This is certainly one person's unique way of touching the world... have a watch;

It is true that we all have the capacity to bridge the gap between ourselves and strangers, if we can dare to let our guard down. Our world is big and fast now and even scary at times... and it can afford all the help it can get to become a more gentle, kind and compassionate planet. I can't say that this approach would be MY unique way of reaching out, but hey, who's to judge!?!


Personally, I like the message this video sends... I like sharing hugs around.

The music in the video is by Sick Puppies... what a name, hey!

Enjoy!
Warmly, Carolyn
