COT:
My playlist, which I forgot to start until 20 minutes in, was all Bob Marley. Marley was more than a Reggae artist, he was an idealist. His idea was that you could literally heal the world of Racism and Hate by injecting Music and Love into people’s lives. Couple days before a peace rally (Smile Jamaica Concert) performance he was gunned down in his home. Seven gunmen shot Marley in the chest and arm. Marley’s wife, Rita, was shot in the head in her car in the driveway. Two days later he walked on stage and performed. When asked why he said the people who are trying to make this world a worse place aren’t taking any days off. How can I? Light in the darkness. I challenge myself and the PAX to be a light in the darkness. Doesn’t have to be a grand gesture, just a simple hello, how are you, a hug, some kind words, or an offer to help somebody in need.
Aye! Bobsled
