• "Stay together, friends Don’t scatter and sleep. Our friendship is made of being awake." ~ Rumi
• “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ~ Marianne Williamson from "A Return To Love"

 There are some people who bring light to the planet, who report on, story-tell about and share “lameness” at it’s best, and overwhelming more of  the good things that people do.

Paul Harvey was one of the greats in humankind to be this for us.

I grew up listening to his “The Rest of the Story” broadcasts. He always made me feel grounded and “at home,” just listening to his low and booming, but reassuring and grounded voice.

He spread great and wide good wings of the best of humanity out for us to ride upon each week.

He also challenged the powers that be. “Perhaps Harvey’s most famous broadcast came in 1970, when he announced his opposition to President Nixon’s expansion of the war, urging him to get out completely. “Mr. President, I love you … but you’re wrong,” Harvey said, shocking his faithful listeners and drawing a barrage of letters and phone calls, including one from the White House.”

We need more people like Mr. Harvey.

He will be/is missed.
