This morning I woke up to the sounds of sirens and public announcements telling us to take shelter. It was a perfect sunny morning with blue skies, but the announcement said that bombs could be landing and we should take cover.
My son said one of the wisest things in his life. He told me,
"Dad. I'm not so worried about school anymore."
I smiled. I kind of wish we didn't have to go to school too. But it seemed like somewhere in the national intelligence the message got mixed up. There wasn't a bomb as much as a satellite that failed to be launched into orbit. Pieces of it broke up and fell into the ocean.
At school kids asked me what the meaning of all this is. I don't think there is any big meaning except give thanks for the life you have now and the people you meet today. Then enjoy what you are doing because it won't be forever.
Martin Mussard is Naâman, a French singer with a reggae tone in his voice. I love the sincerity in the music and the voice.
Joy is a singer from Black Pink. Her song is just, "Hello." It's something my kid's picked up when they spent some time in the states. The greeting was casual and friendly, "Hello. Have a good one." This song is sung in Korean, but contradicts the Korean tradition of formal and strict greetings. Instead of the trational formal "anyeonghaeo" the song is just "anyeong".
The Dutch Violinist André Rieu conducts this vocal ensemble's version of Beethoven's Ode to Joy. The song always sounds best in German. Check out some of the smiles and the Soprano.^^ It lifts you up into another world and that's where I want to be right now.
