“Until there is peace between religions, there can be no peace in the world.”

— Thich Nhat Hanh

Lyrics:

When problems overwhelm us and sadness smothers us where do we find the will and the courage to continue? Well the answer may come in the caring voice of a friend,a chance encounter with a book, or from a personal faith.
For Janet help came from her faith, but it also from a squirrel. Shortly after her divorce, Janet lost her father, then she lost her job.
She had mounting money problems.
But Janet not only survived she worked her way out of despondency and now she says, life is good again.
How could this happen? She told me that late one ??? day when she was at her lowest she watched a squirrel storing up nuts for the winter, one at a time he would take them to the nest. And she thought, if that squirrel can take care of himself with the harsh winter coming along, then so can I.
Once I ripped my problems into small pieces I was able to carry them,just like those acorns, one at a time.

Take all your problems
And rip ‘em apart
Oh Oh Oh
Carry them off
In a shopping cart
Oh Oh Oh

And another thing you
Should’ve known from the start
The problems in hand
Are lighter than at heart

Be like the squirrel, girl
Be like the squirrel
Give it a whirl, girl
Be like the squirrel

And another thing
You have to know in this world
Cut up your hair
Straighten your curls
Well you problems
Hide in your curls
