Bob Marley, the dearly departed king of reggae, was one of the coolest people to have trodden upon the planet. His body of work is legendary. His rhythms and rhymes still sound sublime as they continue dancing forth from sound systems, east and west, all around the first and third worlds.
Mr Marley sang his songs well but it was what he communicated that cemented his mythical status worldwide. This mystic poet speaks intelligently to the heart of people everywhere about many important ideas in a way that allows much to be said and read between his short sweet and lyrical lines.
“If you get up and quarrel, every day you’re saying, prayers to the devil, I say.”
If something is getting under your skin have the courage to face it and deal with it. Being cranky and angry simply serves to empower your personal negativity and in turn your mood may infect those around you.
“Overcome the devils with a thing named Love.”
Underpinning anger is unexpressed sadness and anxiety. The fundamental source of these experiences coincides with and is exacerbated by a sense of being alone. It may feel difficult, and as such is an act of courage, but reaching for love in your time of pain will allow support to hold you.
“One love, one heart, lets get together and feel all right”
Reaching for love and closeness will always redeem your inner world. Loving company can help you simmer down and think things through more clearly. Then soon you may more readily notice,
“The sun is shining, weather is sweet. Makes you want to move your dancing feet.”
All conflict both within a person and also out side them can be resolved by love says Mr Marley and, just like his music,
“When it hits you feel no pain”.
You could do very much worse than to channel a little bit of your own inner Bob Marley.
“All you’ve got to do, is give a little, take a little”, and “ Let Jah love, coming shining in, into our lives again”, then, “every little thing, going to be alright. “
