I just saw the “No Greater Time” video play on TTT and it reminds me of the way vision works. When you get it, often it appears to respond only to one thing, and sometimes people think you are solving a problem that doesn’t exist.
The issue is that if you follow through with it, the time will come in which it is not only necessary, but it may be urgently needed, and impossible to achieve.
That video couldn’t have been done in the way it was, if it was to be done right now. To record the song would also require a lot more work than when it was actually done.
The vision they conceived then, required them to act in that moment, and for many seasons afterward, the song has likely gained new relevance, similar to the other collaborative songs which helped to inspire them.
“There’s no greater time for love. No greater time for peace”
Even the lyrics of the song can be re-interpreted as conflict, with the potential to be divisive has begun to arise, while we discuss health care, education, human rights and economics, all as they are affected by this COVID crisis.
The truth is, the impact of COVID is unprecendented in the way that it is impacting a globalised world. The response must also then be unprecedented as we give a glocalised response (glocalised means to think global, act local).
One thing I can say for sure is that while we are required to stay apart to protect ourselves, our families and our nation from COVID, staying apart is standing together in a way we were never able to do in history.
Let’s try to put the politics, paranoia, hysteria and histrionics, aside, and put our hearts together to support those among us negatively impacted by COVID. Let us put our heads together to find the best ways to weather this terrible storm.
“We blessed the world with harmony
There’s no greater time for love
No greater time for peace
Be what we know we’re meant to be
There’s no greater time for love
A light for the world to see”
