And so the fast ended.. ironically, with all of us 'slow'ing down :P yup.. we slowed down all right, to take time out to appreciate things.. the simple pleasures in life..and most of all, to appreciate each other.
I've been rolling it ard in my head for a couple of days.. and this song kinda spelt it all out for me...cos be it black,white,race,caste,religion,status,shape,gender and whatever else... we are just, a blessed union of beings...souls...hearts and minds. The bond that links us all together? Love

I Believe

Walk blindly to the light and reach out for his hand
Don't ask any questions and don't try to understand
Open up your mind and then open up your heart
And you will see that you and me aren't very far apart

'Cause I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way

Violence is spread world wide and there are families on the street
And we sell drugs to children now oh why can't we just see
That all we do is eliminate our future with the things we do today
Money is our incentive now so that makes it okay

But I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way

I've been seeing Lisa now for a little over a year
She said she's never been so happy but Lisa lives in fear
That one day daddy's gonna find out she's in love
With a nigger from the streets
Oh how he would lose it then but she's still here with me
'Cause she believes that love will see it through
And one day he'll understand
And he'll see me as a person not just a black man

'Cause I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
I believe I believe I believe I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
Love will find the way
Love will find the way
Love will find the way
Please love find the way
Please love find the way

P.s. Excuse the unintended pun - with regards to the 'black man' part :P But hey, its a good song!
