Light up the Darkness

'Bob Marley had this idea. It was kind of a virologist idea. He believed that you could cure racism and hate... literally cure it, by injecting music and love into people's lives. When he was scheduled to perform at a peace rally, a gunman came to his house and shot him down. Two days later he walked out on that stage and sang. When they asked him why - He said, "The people, who were trying to make this world worse... are not taking a day off. How can I? Light up the darkness."

(Paraphrasing a conversation taken from the Film 'I am Legend')

    Bob Marley's words, and actions, are powerful examples of "Light up the Darkness" in this weary world. Thank you, for this poignant entry,Father Shortall.
