In living almost seven decades of this life as a spiritual being trying to be human.... I feel that Motherhood is still the most important, and the most under-rated endeavor that we stumble into ....?
"It's a thankless job, but somebody's gotta do it .."
To all Mothers in this crazy world ... I salute you!!!

I read the book that our dear Jeanne is listed in and left a 5 star rating on Amazon:
@jeanne-mayell I read it too. Really great read. Thank you for telling us about it.
I'm supposed to be working remotely. I often listen to Pandora while I work-- "Age of Man" by Greta Van Fleet came online. I own both of GVF's albums. I could almost be these guys' grandma, but they are truly old souls who transmit messages of both grief and hope. Anyhow upon hearing "Age of Man" again, I felt drawn to share these:
Age of Man: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wd9te6ZQXpQ
Brave New World: (best lines: "A silent child climbs a mound of char
Where he plants a seed that grows beyond the stars") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6l0JTo-Ovc
While I'm at it--- Here's an oldie but goodie that helps us appreciate the element of quarantine that makes "Time Stand Still":

Hmm Pandora is quite evocative today. She just gave me this one by Johnny Cash:
"Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's down in the dark will be brought to the light"

I mentioned this beautiful composer on another thread, and wish I could upload here... it's on YouTube :
*Ludovico Einaudi / Devenire*
It's of the soul plane ?
TIME FOR A GOOD LAUGH!
I was watching a show on TV called "The story of Soaps". I'm a big soap opera fan and currently watch General Hospital, but used to love All my Children and One Life to Live. I started watching GH because my Aunt Mickey, who lived with us and helped raise me, used to do the ironing to her soaps. I actually remember watching the very first episode of All My Children back when I was 10 years old. I heard a funny story from Carol Burnett (she used to be on All my Children occasionally because she loved the show). I have always thought Carol was so funny, but even my husband got a big kick out of this story.
So Carol and her husband (back in June of 1974) went on vacation to Lake Como, Italy. Carol asked her friend to send her a telegram of the recap of the week's episodes every Friday. On Jun 7, 1974, Carol and her hubby were awoken by a knock on the door at 2:00am by the manager of the hotel! The manager was visibly shaken because he had a telegram for her that read: "Erica was kidnapped and left in a coma. Mark has slipped again and ran away from rehab - has not been found. Mona has to have exploratory surgery and it doesn't look good. Chuck has learned that Donna, who is carrying his baby was once a hooker. Donna's husband, Palmer is still in the dark. The woman posing as Brooke's mother is wanted by the police. Phoebe is back on the bottle. Hope you are having a great trip!" ... Well Carol started laughing so hard the manager thought she was really crying for obvious reasons and that she was perhaps hysterical and asked if she needed a valium!!! LOL. Her husband said "Oh for Lord sakes, that's her soap!". ? ? ? ?
?LOL
