Playing for Change
Posted On 01/12/2008 12:18:37 by shoes

Hello

I've just rediscovered an organisation called playing for change, and I find it really inspirational. The playing for change foundation, created by Mark Johnson, is dedicated to connecting the world through music. They have made a series of short films showing songs performed together by musicians all over the world. There is a version of 'One Love' posted in the kid's area this month.

It is so clear to me how music can be a common language for us all, and unite us in our common humanity.

Check out their website at www.playingforchange.com :)

love, Shoes

In the dark the old man
could feel the morning coming and as he rowed he heard the trembling sound as
flying fish left the water and the hissing that their stiff set wings made as
they soared away in the darkness. He was sorry for the birds, especially th e
small delicate dark terns that were always flying and looking and almost never
finding, and he thought, the birds have a harder life than we do except for the
robber Carry On Bag
birds and the heavy strong ones. Why did they make birds so delicate and fine
as those sea swallows when the ocean can be so cruel? She is kind and very
beautiful. But she can be cheap Down Jacket
so cruel and kid Down Jacket
it comes so suddenly and such birds that fly, dipping and hunting, with their
small sad voices are made too delicately for the sea.

They walked up cheap Moncler Jackets the road together to the old man’s shack and went in
through its open door. The old man leaned the mast with its wrapped sail
against the wall and the boy put the box and the other gear beside

it. The mast was nearly as long as the one room of the shack. The shack
was made of the tough budshields of the royal palm which are called guano and
in it there was a bed, a table, one chair, and a place on the dirt floor to
cook with charcoal. On the brown walls of the flattened, overlapping leaves of
the sturdy
wholesale NFL Jerseys fibered guano there was a picture in color of the
Sacred Heart of Jesus and another of the Virgin of Cobre. These were relics of
his wife. Once there had been a tinted photograph of his wife on the wall but
he had taken it down because it made him too lonely to see it and it was on the
shelf in the corner under his clean shirt.

Sometimes someone
would speak in a boat. But most of the boats were silent except for the dip of
the oars. They spread apart after they were out of the mouth of the harbour and
each one headed for the part of the
kid Down Jacket ocean where he hoped to find fish. The old man knew
he was going far out and he left the smell of the land behind and rowed out
into the clean early morning smell of the ocean. He saw the phosphorescence of
the Gulf weed in the water as he rowed over the part of the ocean that the
fishermen cal led the great well because there was a sudden deep
Carry On Bag of seven hundred fathoms where all sorts of fish
congregated because of the swirl the current made against the steep walls of
the floor of the ocean. Here there were concentrations of shrimp and bait fish
and sometimes schools of squid in the deepest holes and these rose close to the
surface at night where all the wandering
cheap Down Jacket fish fed on them.

They
picked up the gear from the boat.
cheap
Moncler Jackets
The old man carried
the mast on his shoulder and the boy carried the wooden box with the coiled,
hard-braided brown lines, the gaff and the harpoon with its shaft. The box with
the baits was under the stern
Wholesale cheap Jerseys of the skiff along with the club that was used to
subdue the big fish when they were brought alongside. No one would steal from
the old man
wholesale

but it was better to
take the sail and the heavy lines home as the dew was bad for them and, though
he was quite sure no local people would steal from him, the old man thought
that a gaff and a harpoon were needless temptations to leave in a boat.

 He no longer dreamed of
storms, nor of women, nor of great occurrences, nor of great fish, nor fights,
nor contests Carry On Bag of
strength, nor of his wife. He only dreamed of places now and of the lions kid Down Jacket
on the beach. They played like young cats in the dusk and he l oved them as he
loved the boy. He never dreamed about the boy. He cheap Down Jacket
simply woke, looked out the open door at the moon and unrolled his trousers and
put them on. He urinated outside the shack and then went up the road to wake
the boy. He was shivering with t he morning cold. But he knew he would shiver
himself warm and that soon he would be rowing.

They sat on the Terrace and
many of the fishermen made fun of the old man and he was not angry. Others, of
the older fishermen, looked at him and were sad. But they did not show it and
they spoke politely about the current wholesale NFL
Jerseys
and the depths they had drifted their lines at and
the steady good weather and of what they had seen. The successful fishermen of
that day were already in and had butchered their marlin out and carried them
laid full length across two planks, with two men staggering at the end of each
plank, to the fish house where they waited Wholesale cheap Jerseys for the ice truck to carry
them to the market in Havana. Those who had caught sharks had taken them to the
shark factory on the other side of the cove where they were cheap Moncler
Jackets
hoisted on a block and tackle, their livers
removed, their fins cut off and their hides skinned out and their flesh cut
into strips for salting.

When the boy came
back the old man was asleep in the chair and the sun was down. The boy took the
old army blanket off the bed and spread it over the back of the chair and over
the old man’s shoulders. They were strange shoulders, still powerful although
very old, and the neck was still strong too and
cheap Down Jacket the creases did not show so much when the old man was
asleep and his head fallen forward. His shirt had been patched
Carry On Bag so many times that it was like the sail and the
patches were faded to many different shades by the sun. The old man’s head was
kid Down Jacket very old though and with his eyes closed there was no
life in his face. The newspaper lay across his knees and
the weight of his arm held it there in the evening breeze. He was barefooted

He was an old man
who fished alone in a skiff in the
Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a
fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days
without a fish
Wholesale cheap Jerseys the boy’s parents had told him that the old man was
now definitely and finally salao, which is the worst form of unlucky, and the
boy had gone at their orders in another boat which caught three good fish the
first week. It made the boy
cheap Moncler Jackets sad to see the old man come in each day with his
skiff empty and he always went down to help him carry either the coiled lines
or the gaff and harpoon and the sail that was furled around the mast.
wholesale NFL Jerseys The sail was patched with flour sacks and, furled, it
looked like the flag of permanent defeat
