Not the American national anthem (may it soon join its long-forgotten predecessor that Roman legions sang as they pillaged & raped) … but an appropriate rewrite of America the Beautiful … that I can sing, and brings tears whenever I watch/listen to the video
That is beautiful, thank you Randolph for sending this alternative song and celebration of America. I enjoyed listening and the video that went with it…so much to appreciate and be grateful for ♥️
Good for you Domenic to not participate in the worship of false gods and jingoism. I know you always take a courageous stance against these spectacles .
There is something so tender in this poem that it touches our hearts as well as our bones . thank you @Gillian & Li'l Bean
Thank you Susan, this one gave me a lump in my throat. xo

I enjoy when people take the non-celebratory position on these Government-Worship Holydays, like July 4th in the U.S.
I'm also aware of the latter stanza of "The Star Spangled Banner"; I haven't sung even the first verse in years, nor done the Pledge of Allegiance.

You continue to inspire me, Susan, not only with your courageous conversations but also with your courageous heart.
Deep gratitude to you Paulette for your continued support , encouragement and friendship.
This is truly a strange time and strange day, how will you be spending it ?
Thanks for the restacking 🙏🏻
We drove out to a spectacular waterfall and hiked. It was just what we needed.
That sounds a splendid way to celebrate the day ☀️
