I think the words in the song" 'sweet Survivor' 'performed at Mary's memorial celebration are most fitting here regarding todays reflection . I think that they speak powerfully to Joe Biden and all of us who strive for freedom and liberty in the face of the great of Dictatorship and oppression ." You have asked me why the days fly by so quickly ,and why each one feels no different from the last. And you say that you are fearful of the future, and you have grown suspicious of the past .and you wonder if the dreams we shared together have abandoned us , or we abandoned them. And you cast about and try to find new meaning ,so that you can feel the closeness once again .Carry on, my sweet survivor, carry on my lonely friend, dont give up on the dream, and dont you let it end Carry on, my sweet survivor, though you know that somethings gone or everything that matters, carry on. President Joe Biden is a deeply spiritual and wonderful leader who like Moses of old has been called by all that is Holy ! He has heard the cries of oppression and has ben sent by the Holy one to bring deliverance to all who are oppressed through their culture, religion. gender, and even our environment ! I hope for all that matters he will carry on, we will support him, and that Noel will play this song in honor of all that is at stake and remind us that we must carry on in the name of all that is Holy and right. chaplain George Francis MDiv.APC-SCA.,
i am hoping that Noel will see this and possibly play it on a video or you tube in honor of President Biden who is fighting so hard to survive and save our cherished freedoms. Like Moses, He can lead us to the promised land even if he cannot be there for years to enjoy it and must at some point pass the torch however, maybe with the strength by the Holy one and a Holy purpose will be sustained.
as a University professor retired and Hospital Palliative Care chaplain in a large healthcare system i have seen physicians, priests, and many others at the top of their game and working well inot their mid eighties.
The music for worship time at the bible study this morning contained all of the classic patriotic songs ,but I could only heard this song in my head . thank you for giving us a new song for this time.

Noel, I have just discovered your Substack...but part of my reaction to the debate included one of the songs from you, Peter, and Mary. https://kerrydexter.substack.com/p/after-the-debate-wisdom-from-music
