A Path Forward is the brand we are zooming under. I has been a concern of Linda's and mine that one of the missing elements in attempts to "Move" forward (in a movemental sense) is the Singing. We have the "old" movement songbook which is a treasure to many of us (like buried treasure since the days when they accompanied us every step of the way). But as we have scattered ourselves like the seeds we sang about, the Singing seems to be largely missing.</div><div><br></div><div>I have been doing some thinking and reviewing and writing to try to figure out what are the songs (hopefully singable) needed for The Path Forward. I've written three on the occasion of this year's Earth Day. Many of you will recognize pieces I have drawn from The Songbook. Disclaimer: with the help of AI apps like Suno, Controlla, and VEEP and a couple others, I wrote the lyrics and had help with the compositions and giving a way to "cover" the song with my voice. For you "creatives" give it a try.</div><div><br></div><div>This one I am giving you the link to above is <b>Those Who Care Revisited! </b>I am attaching the lyrics in a Word doc.
