As We Go "Dark" For Labor Day W-End Here in the United States....

Over the course of the past few days, our team decided on a simple token of thanks as we featured this simple yet beautiful poem on all our properties.  As a new week dawns before us, a new month is before us and a new quarter is at hand,  we wanted to share this here in our "Home Property" as a small measure of thanks which we were honored to feature on all our properties as our journey of service continues.   

As we "go dark" in our properties this week through Labor Day here in the United States, Please enjoy our Twitter Channel and our Broadcast Pod Featuring Al Jazeera and as we leave all with the latest courtesy of Global Citizen:    

 BELIEVE

(An aria from the Woody Guthrie Opera,

Woody for the People)

I believe in redemption 

I believe in the Truth 

I believe there’s a moment when all that is good 

comes shining through

I believe in transition 

I believe change is good 

It’s the steady confusion of life that transforms 

us from old into new

And I believe … nothing could be so fine 

As Love and Forgiveness … and Mercy Devine

I believe in remorse 

that forgiveness is Truth 

And that nothing else matters as much as the 

love between me and you

And I believe … nothing could be so fine 

As Love and Forgiveness … and Mercy Devine

~ Michael Johnathon

 Lean On Me

“Sometimes in our lives we all have pain 
We all have sorrow 
But if we are wise 
We know that there’s always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you’re not strong 
And I’ll be your friend 
I’ll help you carry on 
For it won’t be long 
‘Til I’m gonna need 
Somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride 
If I have faith you need to borrow 
For no one can fill those of your needs 
That you won’t let show
You just call on me brother, when you need a hand 
We all need somebody to lean on 
I just might have a problem that you’ll understand 
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me, when you’re not strong 
And I’ll be your friend 
I’ll help you carry on 
For it won’t be long 
‘Til I’m gonna need 
Somebody to lean on”

~ Bill Withers
