While hopping around in You Tube listening to music I came across a post by a random user;

"Sometimes I feel if the right music was played in some key places around the globe, then the world would have to change, just by having the "energies" created. Humans must be forced to FEEL the world."

Nice concept....

And that's why she liked him-- because he just thought she was crazy.” ― C. JoyBell C.

“If you send out goodness from yourself, or if you share that which is happy or good within you, it will all come back to you multiplied ten thousand times.

THE JEWELER

If a naive and desperate man
Brings a precious stone
To the only jeweler in town,
Wanting to sell it,
The jeweler's eyes
Will begin to play a game,
Like most eyes in the world when they look at you.

The jeweler's face will stay calm.
He will not want to reveal the stone's true value,
But to hold the man captive to fear and greed
While he calculates
The value of the transaction.

But one moment with me, my dear,
Will show you that there is nothing, nothing that I want from you.
When you sit before a Master like me,
Even if you are a drooling mess,
My eyes sing with Excitement
They see your Divine Worth.

~Hafiz
