We travel together,
passengers on a little spaceship,
dependent on its vulnerable supplies of air and soil...
preserved from annihilation only by the care,
the work, and I will say, the love, we give
our fragile craft.

♥ What
Was Given ♥
Music and lyrics by Sandra Hammel
This is a call to love the planet ♡
~ It’s not ours
To hurt, hurt, kill, kill
Free to not care.
Why so hard to love what was given?
We could heal what we hurt,
hurt our Mother Nature.
This is our home
That we’re to share with other life.
Life, not death, to share, with creation.
Why so hard to love what was given?
Given to all life’s generations,
not just you,
you
and I.
Will our life, be the death
of what was given
to all creation?
This is a cry to love the planet ♡
~ It never was
ours
to take, steal, hurt, kill,
destroy beauty.
Dona nobis pacem,
Pa-a-a-a-cem.
Do-na no-bis pacem.
Do-o-o-na, do-o-o-na, do-na nobis pacem.
Why so hard to love what was given?
We're just passing through.
We're just passing through.

♫ October 2, 2017 ❤
I wrote the music first. Finally worked out the words. I wanted to record myself for the purpose of Mimi Lenox's annual Peace effort for November 4. I recorded this late November 4th and didn't like the few efforts. But, here is one of those. It is not perfect. But neither is this world.
300,000 pieces of space junk
After decades of using space for communication and defense, we’ve left it pretty polluted: there are now an estimated 300,000 pieces of space junk a centimeter or bigger in Earth’s orbit. Some are deactivated, decades-old satellites, but most are shards of metal — the result of rockets that exploded after use, or satellites that collided. Experts are worried that growing levels of space junk could make some orbits difficult or impossible to use, and space agencies are requiring satellite operators to be more careful with their equipment after it's decommissioned.

Be brave.
Live out loud.
Let your light shine.
