Week 14 - I know we covered Bob Dylan only two weeks ago. But I had to cover this song and this is why. As a mother, I hope to raise a child who sees beauty in our differences. A child who won’t turn away from injustice and will be compassionate to those who are in need. A child who will listen to others yet always looks for his own truth. I hope to be a good role model for my son and as I get to know him and his little friends, I wish more and more to make this world a better place for them. But times like these, I’m feeling small and lost. So instead of giving into despair, I’m going to do one thing I know how to do.
“Too many of these hip people are telling me where the answer is but oh I won’t believe that. I still say it’s in the wind and just like a restless piece of paper it’s got to come down some ...But the only trouble is that no one picks up the answer when it comes down so not too many people get to see and know . . . and then it flies away. I still say that some of the biggest criminals are those that turn their heads away when they see wrong and know it’s wrong. I’m only 21 years old and I know that there’s been too many” - Bob Dylan, June 1962
