don't you agree we should all get along? after all, we are all just people.
Sunday Selections #757
Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections. A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please. Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one. Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. Beginning today with a few photos of my TV screen, on the news: In the far north, the APY Lands (I think, it was a while ago) the indigenous people held their own Grand Final football match: in the heat and the red dust much fun was had spectators as well as players it was lovely to see, quite a change from the city matches with over-crowded stands and all the cheering and booing that goes on. on another TV show: she really killed...
Beautiful video, song and art! I love the message. Amen!
ReplyDeleteLinda's Relaxing Lair; this is from so long ago I can't remember when the song came out. The message still rings true though.
DeleteHi River, thanks. And as far as the aqua harp goes, it should be listened 🎶 to at a low volume. Hope that helps. 🙏 I hope you have a great week ahead.
DeleteThanks for the earworm!
ReplyDeleteKathy G; you're welcome.
DeleteNicely said.
ReplyDeletemessymimi; and true too.
DeleteNice and cheery, R.
ReplyDeleteMargaret D; and a reminder to be nice, be kind.
DeleteWikipedia tells us that The Sherman brothers wrote "It's a Small World (After All)" in the wake of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, which influenced the song's message of peace and brotherhood.
ReplyDeleteI sang it as a girl scout in the 70es, and it is still true ... and an earworm.
Charlotte; thank you, I dodn't know the origin, I just knew the song from years ago.
DeleteI've never heard this before. It's lovely. Thank you for posting it.
ReplyDeletejabblog; it was quite the thing here for a while, lots of kids learned it.
DeleteNice. I've never heard it before.
ReplyDeleteAndrew; how is that possible? It was everywhere back in the 70s-80s.
DeleteI've always loved that song and wish we could apply to our daily lives- or rather the politicians we elect to office would. Our present way of life is unsustainable on a finite planet. WE can dream.

Wisewebwoman; all we can do is the best we can and be kind to everyone.
Delete"There's no shame; we are all the same". I wish I thought of that, but it actually came from Embarrassing Bodies.
ReplyDeletehels; I remember hearing that somewhere. I also remember my mum once saying everybody is the same we all put our pants on one leg at a time, even royalty.
DeleteAmen to that. I just got another lesson of this yesterday! A good lesson of me overcoming prejudice and being rewarded for it, because... small world with people.
ReplyDeleteIris; if only everyone thought like this, we are all the same, we might look different but so do animals like dogs and cats, why are people made to feel different?
DeleteMaybe I should "collect" what I find at/on (?) Facebook. Little kids stating they look so much alike the teacher will not be able to see who is who! They have the same hair-cut/the same clothes, yet.... you get the picture, one very dark the other very light skin, but they only see haircut/clothes and that they have the same laughter and ideas.
DeleteThe adults teach them they are "different"...
You are right, I should collect and post that!
Iris; yes please, post those things, remind everyone that we are all the same.
Deleteechoes my sentimonies..... can't we all just get along???
ReplyDeleteArcticFox; apart from the odd argument here and there, we should all be getting along, we are all people.
DeleteWe went to Disney in California and I swear, there are whole rides powered by that song.
ReplyDeletejeanie; that doesn't surprise me at all.
DeleteI never went on that ride.
ReplyDeleteMike; which ride was that?
Delete'It's a small world' ride at Disney. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_a_Small_World
DeleteYes, I also remember this from the Disney ride!
ReplyDeleteSteve Reed; I think I've heard it on the rides in movies where people go to Disneyland.
