It's been haunting me for weeks. The lyrics and melody as if it was composed in some Romantic Poet's time. The way it aches through my ears with a need to do something more with this life.
On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"
~ Pink Floyd
The heart is always the gauge. The heart, without blemish or strain can rise above the selfish manipulations our world or even our selves, to present us with opportunities to be better.
The heart's vision can be a crystal clear compass to a better way to live.
But there's just too much of the "turning away". Too many times when that gauge is foggy or the compass pointing in the wrong direction...
Give me more of the positive. Give me more time to find someone to help - someone to listen to. And let it start with those that are closest to my heart.
No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?
No more Turning Away!!!
