Landfill Music
I think I saw this on Arlin's blog some time back. Just has taken me a while to post it. It really shows the human desire for beauty and the divine power to overcome earthly problems. So many of us live in such great wealth that we have lost the ability to do this. And I'm not talking just about those people who live in 5000 square foot houses. When was the last time you had to worry about eating a meal, or having enough money for your child to eat lunch at school, or being able to rent the band instrument, or even buy them a pair of shoes? Have we gained so much that we have so little regard for it?
And you don't have to travel half-way around the world to be faced with people who every day are struggling. RIGHT NOW there is a child in your kid's class who doesn't get a breakfast every morning, that the only meal they get is the one served at school. The one your kid didn't want to eat because it was yucky.
Let this inspire you today, that something so beautiful and amazing can come out of such humble roots. Let it inspire you to be more grateful for what you have in your life right now - the people, the things, the job. Let it inspire you to somehow make a difference in someone else's life.
Peace,
elle
