I'd like to dedicate this to all those who have lost family members and loved ones.  Let's pray for peace so this madness of killing each other can finally come to an end.

For thousands of years people have engaged in warfare and it's been devastating to all those involved, leaving us in horrific states of turmoil and grief, why not give peace a try?

In commemoration of Remembrance Day, and the Birth of Baha'u'llah I thought this was a fitting recording to share. 

These are words of a nobleman from the 1800's who was persecuted for the entirety of his life for sharing a message of love and unity to the world. 

This is one of the quotations I particularly loved so I put it to music as an easy way to remember some very powerful words:

"When a thought of war comes oppose it by a stronger thought of peace. A thought of hatred must be destroyed by a more powerful thought of love"

Powerful Thought Of Love (Original)

Seemed appropriate today to post this Hidden Word I put to music "Grieve not" - Dedicated to all my American friends who may be upset or disheartened by this election...
Let's not become overwhelmed with hatred or fear, this is an opportunity to come together and overcome any injustices with cooperation...We're stronger when we work together for a common goal, a common vision- the education and advancement of human civilization. I truly believe there is something greater at work despite the state of the world today and we can choose be a part of it if we align ourselves with peace, love and unity, and actively work for the betterment of the world.

"O SON OF MAN! Should prosperity befall thee, rejoice not, and should abasement come upon thee, grieve not, for both shall pass away and be no more."

Lyrics + Chords:

C                   Am                 F                  G	
How long before the world is one family
C                 Am                      F                   G
How long before we learn to live in harmony
         F                   G                C              G              Am
With war nobody wins, with peace we'll all be freed
             F                                               G
From all this hate, injustice and this greed
 

C             G            F                 	G
I have a dream, I hope it will come true
              C           G        F                             G
We'll work as a team, I know that we'll get through
          F                                G         C           G       Am      
These troubles that we've had will soon all go away
        F                                                      G            
The people raise their voices and they say

(Chorus) + Instrumental
 	
C           Am       F                          G
I am a human I know that you are too
       C                                   Am             F            G
Although we might be different, we're family it's true
       F                        G             C          G        Am
I'll love you as my friend, I'll be there till the end
           F                                                           G
When all is done we'll see our dreams come true (x2)
 
Chorus
        F                                                      G                 F     C   F  C
Who needs this hate, injustice and this greed?  Not me  (x3)

How Long (Roxanne Andrighetti Original)

11 Refresh And Gladden Sung By Roxanne Andrighetti Master

This is a song I wrote a few years ago while feeling a bit lost, likely due to the existential angst that comes along from too much reflecting on life...

Find My Way- Roxanne Andrighetti Original

This is a Baha'i Unity prayer which I put to music to sing for my sister's wedding. 

"O my God!  O my God!  Unite the hearts of Thy servants, and reveal to them Thy great purpose.  May they follow Thy commandments and abide in Thy law.  Help them, O God, in their endeavor, and grant them strength to serve Thee.  O God!  Leave them not to themselves, but guide their steps by the light of Thy knowledge, and cheer their hearts by Thy love.  Verily, Thou art their Helper and their Lord.
Bahá’u’lláh
