turn to stone

Tina Stewart Brakebill

stop hiding your face

silently wishing for change

turn to stone no more

Not sure if I’m interpreting the lyrics as intended but they inspired me as well …

Turn To Stone (written and performed by Joe Walsh)

Hey now, the well run dry
Pages of your book on fire
Read the writing
On the wall
Hoe down, it’s a show-down
Ev’rywhere you look, we’re fighting
Hear the call
And you know it’s gettin’ stronger
I can’t last very much longer
Turn to stone
Well there’s a change in the wind
You know the signs don’t lie
Such a strange feelin’
And I don’t know why it’s takin’
Such a long time
Backyard people
And they work all day
Tired of the speeches and the way
That the reasons keep changin’
Just to make the words rhyme
And you know it’s gettin’ stronger
Can’t make ’em run much longer
Turn to stone

Thanks to Ronovan Writes for the word inspiration (seek/find).

And here’s hoping for a new and better year–where people come together and create change. Let this be the year that sees him (and his enablers) gone!

Peace.

Change Reality: Rebel

Tina Stewart Brakebill

Change as Metaphor ~

Rebellion as Simile ~

We share this planet with 7.5 BILLION people. As only one person among those 7.5 billion, I sometimes feel like nothing I do matters. I wake up nearly every morning dreading the news. What new kind of insanity is taking us one step closer to doom? And then I try to remind myself to take at least a small step forward. As one person, that one small step may not make an enormous difference. But add my small action to other people’s small actions and you might get a REVOLUTION. So don’t give up. Vote. Volunteer. Smile. Extend a hand. Educate. Become educated. Run for office. Run. Do yoga. Stand up. Kneel. Video. Write a letter. Make a call. Take a step. Make a difference.
