the cheerleader of cheer
i'm a bundle of emotions, today. this time of year brings forth so many issues to deal with. for myself and too i am sure for nearly every human. this isn't really about me, suffice it to say i am human and i feel. the hardest thing is to hear what is happening in this human world and stand helpless to wonder what is wrong with people. not just the bad people, the good people also. we go along locked in our personal need to be better than the person standing next to us. complacency, rudeness and desire to belittle seems to overtake kindness, courtesy; the ideal to help others. i don't get it. probably never will. my weapon is to withdraw myself from the crap of the world. but obviously one can only do that so much. some things just outright demand that somebody stand up and yell, "STOP!!!!!" tragedys happen and will continue to happen forever on. it's human nature. sad to think that this time of year that is about celebration and peace is met with the complete opposite, time and again. i really am having a tough time of feeling the spirit this year. for many reasons. i search for something to believe in. some days come up empty. but in all of my soul searching i do realise that i can contribute something. be a cheerleader of cheer. the bell ringer that calls people out. and up. some are so low, the lowest, right now. they need to know that there will still be happy times tomorrow and the days to follow. they need something to believe in. something. it astounds me how a person who is at their personal highest that upon seeing somebody suffering, can't turn bend down and lend a helping hand. yeah, there are a lot that help but there is also a lot that do not.
by now i've typically saturated myself with Christmas tunage. gotta say this year has been quite different. this song has grabbed me somewhere deep inside and i beleive the message is so needed right now. i casually mentioned to my daughter of my new interest in this band and the song in particular. well like a little santa's helper she delivered. in my mailbox was this cd. i am playing the heck out it. love the blue eyed soul energy of these guys. please, have a listen to this song and let's all be the bell ringers for those who can't (or won't) do it themselves. 346/365
