Comment on How Could Anyone Ever Tell You?

Tiffany — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 09:40:13 GMT

Hi! Just writing to tell you that the composer of this song is Libby Roderick (www.libbyroderick.com), an Alaskan singer/songwriter, teacher, poet and activist. The words are actually "How could anyone tell you you WERE anything less than beautiful....", I think because she wants to let people know that those other, negative, messages are in the past, and not true about anyone in the present! You can find the recording "How Could Anyone" at the website above, as well as sheet music for the song in a songbook "When I Hear Music." The song has travelled all around the world, been translated into many languages, featured on CNN and in the Associated Press, used in everything from cancer treatment centers or children's hospitals to orphanages to churches, weddings, funerals, vigils, veterans wards, sung in Auschwitz, at peace marches, and on and on. It's an amazing healing song!

Your comments Deanne remind me of my shopping habits. And what you mused about on why we do this, perhaps it is a fear that if we don't stock up, one day we will go the store and the shelves will be bare. Or, which is common up here, the weather will keep you housebound for a day or two. Don't have the problem yet this winter.
Interesting about the Chinese Okra - but then I don't like Okra at all. I have trouble getting it into my mouth because of the experience of trying to harvest it in the garden as a child. My hands were full of prickly little needles. And eggplant is another veggie which brings back a bad memory... my brother and I, for whatever reason I don't know, ruined a neighbor's eggplant one year a very long time ago. I can still see the broken eggplant insides laying out on the ground. We were punished by having to go out into the pine stand behind the house and selected switches with which we would be switched with. If we didn't get nice sturdy ones yet limber too, we had to go back again. Then we were switched on the backs of our upper bare thighs. Ouch! After that we had to weed the neighbor's garden for a month. Sigh.. So the sight of eggplant makes me feel sad.

Love reading about your adventures into this new world of Veggism. I go in and out of that world frequently.

Good job, Deanne,

Good for you for starting to look at your buying habits, and questioning what messages you give yourself as you over-buy, or, even as you challenge yourself to only buy what you need.

We learn those food messages so early, and even when they aren't logical, they can still be VERY powerful. Your workshop sounds fun.

You know? I went to Google and looked at some pictures of fig trees and I think you may be right! Now wouldn't that be something if figs grew on them? There are several back there - and I love figs! Thanks

Where is this tree? I ask because it looks like one of the fig trees in that park across from your complex!

On my next walk I will look to see if I can tell what tree it is on. They can grow on many different kinds of trees.
