Being silent is not an option . . .

Marti,

When it comes right down to it, every life matters regardless of race, religion, color or anything else that makes someone different.  We lived in Los Angeles during the Rodney King debacle followed by riots, and I still remember his words, "can we just get along!"    A

Marti - It's great to see you post on ActiveRain after your long absence. Welcome back!

"Being Silent is Not An Option." Definitely, not an option. If everyone had to pull off their masks and wear blindfolds, indefinitely, for a period of time until there was no more violence or prejudice, I wonder how different things would be?

On a positive note, I am in hopes that everyone will click on the "YouTube," and "Bandcamp Distant Atmospheres;" then subscribe to marti garaughty "soundscapes, music for film and television."

Marti, I thoroughly enjoyed your music! It so soothing and the best I've ever heard. Congratulations on an outstanding accomplishment. I know how hard you worked on your performances. Even though you took a lot of time off from writing blog posts on AR, you stayed focused on your goal and you always managed to read posts and feature posts in the the "Art of Marketing You," group. 

Thank you, for sharing with us your beautiful musical and artistic talent.

I'm not the person who came up with this thought, but it has been told we are one of the few species on the face of the earth who must protect itself first against our own members. Isn't that interesting?

Whether or not cats are gifted with vision humans can't see, they sure are amazing creatures on earth. 

2020 has been a very unusual year. It's as if time stood still and I want my time back. I really, really wish I was busy in business. Best wishes to you!

marti garaughty  So much looting and rioting in my city  of Philadelphia fears of COVID19 virus spreading  - many more deaths and destruction of business-so so sad 

I"m so sorry to be late reading this, Marti. The coronavirus is one thing, the hate and racism virus is another. It literally brought me to tears for a couple of days. I honestly cannot understand how human beings can act this way.  What the world needs now is love, sweet love. D 

marti garaughty - Thanks for the "like" and your visit on my blog post. As always, it's great to see you. I hope everything is going well and that you're accomplishing a lot of great music. 2020 has to go down as the craziest year ever. Let's hope the last few months will be better for all and 2021 ever greater.

Take care!!!

marti garaughty - I think we are all on the same page with you! We SHALL prevail! It helps to look on the bright side. May your candy dish be full of Halloween kisses/toffees and satisfactory too! I'm wondering how your cats are doing? Do they sense something is in the air or are they without a care in the world? Oh, it would be fun to peak inside a cat's brain to know all the wisdom they possess! Did you know on October 31, we will have our second full moon for the month? 

marti garaughty - I understand. I'm glad to hear the cats that belong to your sister and friends are doing fine. These Covid restrictions are hard on everyone. I hope and pray I get to see my son, daughter, and granddaughter again. 

Glad to see that your head is on straight when it comes to things that matter bless you aunt best wishes with love and light
