A Very Special Message

Microsoft Office Downloaded Image

I came across this clip just this morning. It is from episode 3.14 of The Muppet Show and was featured in the documentary Sing Your Song, a film that tells the story of Harry Belafonte's life. This is a case when something found me at just the right time for me to fully understand and appreciate it's message. The song Mr. Belafonte sings here, reminds me of something Oprah Winfrey said during the closing episode of her daytime talk show.


"I've talked to nearly 30,000 people on this show, and all 30,000 had one thing in common: They all wanted validation. If I could reach through this television and sit on your sofa or sit on a stool in your kitchen right now, I would tell you that every single person you will ever meet shares that common desire. They want to know: 'Do you see me? Do you hear me? Does what I say mean anything to you?"

So with so much craziness happening in the world as of late, I think perhaps we should all take a moment and acknowledge the people in our lives. Do you see them? Do you hear them? Does what they have to say mean anything to you?"

  2. Thanks Andrea.

    I often wonder am I invisible? I'm standing here, hello? Does anybody see me? I get so discouraged sometimes and think why even try? Nobody's listening anyway. So this uplifts my spirits and makes me think. Even if. the entire world turn a deaf ear if I move just one soul in a host of millions to think, act, or do then I have accomplished my goal.
