The Great Mandala ( Wheel of Life) is a song from the ‘60s by Peter Paula & Mary (PPM). It was among the most powerful songs protesting the Vietnam War, reflecting on the perpetual cycle of life, death, and choices. Specifically, it is about a son starving himself to protest a war his father supports. The father’s anger turns to sorrow as he watches his son die.
Very well said. It breaks my heart as someone who feels compassion for the innocent women children men and humans. As a mother--no child should die for war and through violence no matter their race religion etc. I appreciate your voicing this. It saddens me that the Israeli govt is now making jews and israelis seem evil in the eyes of the world--the violence must stop and i pray that peace will one day prevail. This bloodshed will be hard to repair. Yet traumatized people will traumatize others if they are not given the chance to heal. May we bring in food water shelter and hostage negotiators and therapists not bombs.
Slight correction. Bin Laden was found and killed in Pakistan, not Afghanistan.
Thanks for fact-checking.

Peter Paula and Mary?
Only two of the planes departed from Boston.
Lipstick on a corpse needed to be repeated?
