He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother

Isn’t this a great song? Especially, for these volatile times!

Each time this song airs, I think of my brother who died when I was away abroad, and couldn’t attend his funeral. It is something that pains me till now.

A favorite song of his.

If I’m laden,I am laden with sadness,That everyone’s heart isn’t filled with the gladness,Of love for one another. – lyrics from the song –

It is 2022 and still we fight over non-consequential things and create wars and strife.Will it ever end? With catastrophes and destruction everywhere, do our children have a chance at peace?

Have a great weekend everyone – shobana

Peace must sprout within to eventually spread out. Everything looks so hopeless at times. Take care, Shobana. May you find peace. 🙂
