The Understanderer

A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation ain’t satisfactionin’ me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart -Elvis Presley, song “A Little Less Conversation”

As I walk through this wicked world
Searchin’ for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself, “Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred and misery?”
And each time I feel like this inside
There’s one thing I wanna know
What’s so funny ’bout peace, love and understanding? Oh-oh
What’s so funny ’bout peace, love and understanding? -Elvis Costello & The Attractions, song “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love & Understanding”

We could all use ‘The Understanderer’ in our lives….

The power of art…engendering more empathy and understanding.

Go make it.
