4月18日 A night with Ms. Bailey & Mr. LegendWent to the Corinne Bailey Ray & John Legend concert at the Hummingbird Centre last night. Such a fun night of music, but full of musical talent. Corinne Bailey Ray was absolutely amazing, such a stunning and beautiful voice. And John Legend was so good as well, he's such a great artist. Love the way he plays live and how he plays that piano. The duet between the two of them as well. The audience makes a big difference. Because these two aren't mainstream artists quite yet, the fans who come are ones who appreciate and recognize their talent. So the crowd was super fun...wild cheering and lots of dancing. Just the kind of night I needed. My only complaint? Didn't play Each Day Gets Better, my favourite song of the track. Can't wait until the next concert.
But the best song of the night...Show Me. The lyrics are reflective and echoes what is on so many of our minds today. But I like how it was explained last night, instead of just asking God to show us, it's turning the challenge back to ourselves.
Show Me
By John Legend
I realized as I lay down to sleep We haven't spoke in weeks So many things that I'd like to know Come have a talk with me I need a sign, something I can see Why all the mystery? I try not to fall for make believe But what is reality? Where do we go? What do we know? Life has to have a meaning Show me the light Show me the way Show that you're listening Show me that you love me Show me that you walk with me Hopefully, just above me Heaven's watching over me Guess it's funny how I say thanks to you For all you've given me Sometimes the price of what you gave to me I can't stop questioning O God of love, peace, and mercy Why so much suffering? I pray for the world, it gets worse to me Wonder if you're listening When people go Why do they go? Why don't you choose me? But someday I know I'm gonna go I hope you're waiting for me Show me that you love me Show me that you walk with me Hopefully, just above me Heaven's watching over me Maybe we'll talk Some other night Right now I'll take it easy Won't spent my time Waiting to die Enjoy the life I'm living Show me that you love me Show me that you walk with me Hopefully, just above me Heaven's watching over me 4月14日 Watch this:Watched this documentary last night, and it was pretty interesting on so many levels (in humour and seriousness). The scenery and underwater footage was just incredible. For those of you who haven't heard of this, it talks about sharks (hence the title), but focused on the plight and endangerment of sharks all over the world. It is a documentary that is trying to education and raise social awareness. Sharks are endangered mainly for their shark fins. What was the most tragic about this entire situation, is the way sharks are captured, killed and discarded. Many are simply caught, have their fins sliced off and then tossed back into the water to sink to the bottom of the ocean. It's major business in Central America and Asia. It's hard to completely eliminate this practice, means changing cultural beliefs. That, is not to easy and not necessarily fair. According to biologists and environmentalists, the extinction of sharks could impact the earth, affecting climate and oxygen. I'm sure there is an impact, but then I think about all the other issues that humanity and industry has caused in terms of problems...there's so much. Too much to change, too many causes to support...a person's head can spin. So for now, I have decided that I can only make one change at a time...
"No more shark fin soup, please." |
