Happy Earth Light to Bob Marley!  Your torch will forever brighten our way.

Like the seasons, he came and went. Gone at 36 years young, he nevertheless transformed the world. His magnanimous music resounds today, revealing material evidence of his mystical footprint. Burdened and tormented, duppy conquerer Marley brought to us the Balm of Gilead and left us a legacy of love.  This rastaman’s vibrations, raised ours in more ways than we count.

      That IS a good one! …So groovy. It is interesting reflecting on Marley’s music and how his songs relate to various situations in our lives in different periods. And, you are right, not everyone has your well-being in mind. There is an African proverb that states, “When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.” Self-love is the surest protection. Be good to yourself. There’s nothing to fear. In then end, they are all lessons for our development. One.
