Champaign, OH: Love, Love, Love
There’s nothing you can make that can’t be made…
No one you can save that can’t be saved…
Nothing you can do but you can learn to be you in time…
It’s easy…
All you need is love…
All you need is love…
All you need is love, love…
Love is all you need…
(Beatles – All You Need Is Love)
Today was a very solemn day in our history of events. I posted about it on my Cosmic Charlie page, and then at some point, today, I read a passage on a friend’s Facebook page and it just seemed to ring volumes. The passage is from one of my favorite movies, of all time. The movie is, Love, Actually, and the opening scene is in Heathrow Airport, and probably one of the most powerful scenes in the movie.
It speaks of love and how love is really all around us. On a day, like today, that lives on in a gruesome history, this passage makes us all see that love just may be all that we need, all that may get us through, and that maybe it really does trump all.
“Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion’s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there – fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge – they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that love actually is all around,”
So, there you have it…I hope that you can show some kindness, some love, and some compassion, on this day and on each and every day.
This little local market is our little local spot of love…let’s all work, together, to make it show…
I open the market, tonight, a bit late…I had a downtown Monument Square District board meeting. I am not only your market manager but I am everywhere:)
So, the market opens, show some love, make some orders happen, let’s all groove along in happiness…
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

CUSTOMER QUESTION / REQUEST
