Starbucks Love Project: 156 Countries Sing “All You Need is Love”

Howdy, SuperForest!

Though I feel kind of “eh” about Starbucks, I can’t deny the fact that their “Love Project” is amazingly heartwarming. 156 countries got together on December 7th and sang “All You Need is Love” at the same time to spread AIDS awareness.

And watching the final result pleased me to no end.

Truer words have never been spoken (or sung).

Love!

Song of the Week:

Every Sunday, Team SuperForest brings you a song to inspire, uplift, move and groove you through the rest of your week.
As Spoon pointed out, it’s been a musical week here at SuperForest, full of inspiration and sweet sweet grooves.  From MLK raps to Sister Rosetta Tharpe to Cat Stevens, it’s been a SuperForest Celebration of tunes.  So I figured I might as well send it out with a bang.  Or a whole lot of love!

If you’ve never seen the Beatles perform this iconic song live, then I highly recommend you watch this now.  And then again.  And again.  And then go to the comments section and vote whether you think this should be SuperForest’s theme song.  I do.  Who’s with me.

All You Need is Love also kicks off my Song of the Week theme for this beautiful warming up month of May.  Love Baby!  Stay tuned next Sunday.

Love is all you need,

And Now A Reading From W.H. Auden….

Just now I read a poem, and I wanted to share it with all of you.  Here it is.

“Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.

How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.

Admirer as I think I am
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them, say
I missed one terribly all day.

Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time”

— W.H. Auden


Here’s to all of you letting the more loving one be you!

Thank you, Auden. I am humbled.
