“Release me” a song by a group from Stockholm. I first heard the song in a car commercial. I hate car commericals. Generally speaking, I hate commercials. I don´t like the stupid adds on the internet that follows on the screen as you scroll down. But I do like the song. There is something that is powerful about it. Sort of reminds me of who we are. Growing, forceful, capable to create a movement.
What ever happened to movements? They say most movements and organisations are loosing members, such as the Red Cross etc. This new generation that we are don´t organize, don´t come together to change things. Too individualized. Everyone fighting in vain for our own causes, our own rights, our own privilliges. Someone even told me that something as simple as singing in choirs are decreasing. We want to be alone on stage, shining as one idol, not share it.
Our unique growing force, movement can help create something so much bigger. “I am a tree reaching for the sun”. Release me… but not into a vacuum of selfishness but into a force much larger than myself. What would any great leader be without the movement that followed? What kind of catastrophy is close at hand because I am following in a dull movement without thinking about where we are going?
Release me… into the force that brings forth life, hope, peace, and all that is real. “I am a glas of water longing for the ocean”. But… I keep stopping me…

And all of the latest studies show that it is the depth and width of our social connections that gives us a long and happy life. Less stress, less illness….that will be interesting to see how levels of happiness ebb/flow in the future. I really agree with what your comments about what I see too…..everybody wants their 15 minutes of fame and they want it Right Now. They don’t even care for what reason.
Yah, and I hate those ads that follow you down the page….whoever thought that up should be wacked in the head. (2X4 therapy)
