What do you think the world needs now, my dear readers?
Could the world need yet another blog post from me?
Last night, the amazing Michael McDonald told us what the word needs now by performing this Burt Bacharach/Hal David classic:
What I need now is to share my photos from yesterday, when I spent time with people I love.
What do you need now? If you express that in a comment, I’d love it.
Love sweet love to my talented sister Ellen, to Michael McDonald, to my friend Barbara, to everyone else who helped me create this post and to you — of course! — because the world needs you, now.
Great pictorial walk through your yesterday! What do I need right now? To keep my head on straight and be strong for my parents in these challenging years where my sister and I gradually become the ‘parents’ to them. Strength that’s what I need – strength. And it does come thank goodness. Hope you are going from strength to strength.
What do I need right now? Readers like you, Gilly. I join you in going from strength to strength.
Beautiful post Ann 🙂
Thank you, beautiful Irene. <3
The world definitely could use some love right now, and more beautiful images like the ones you posted. And more of your blogs Ann, of course. Have a good week 🙂
Thank you for the love, Lisa! <3
Love is all we need.
Thank you for the reminder Ann ❤️
I love your lovely reminders, Val. <3
The pictures of the shore made me think about how standing at the edge of land can, in a strangely contradictory way, make us feel more connected, and what is love if not a feeling of connection?
And then I realized the pictures I loved best all had something in common. They were all of water, seen from the edge, even the one of the seal which makes me laugh. And that made me think of something else that made me laugh.
The world needs love but the world also needs laughter.
What the world needs now is a lovely and connected super man like you, Chris.
Love, sweet love. And peace.
Love and peace to you, sweet Emilie.
Today I need to know that my words, smiles, music, writing and prayers matter. And I need to know I am loved. So simple yet demanding–especially when it means it’s
‘for everyone.’ I pray I’ll be as eager to give as I am to receive. Thanks, Ann, for this timely piece and beautiful photographic reminder of the softness, beauty, longing and music that helps bring us together.

Thank you for your music selection from Michael McDonald It felt like a warm hug, and I guess that’s what I needed today. Also a chuckle from Christopher’s clip. A fine group you have following you. Your sister’s pictures are beautiful. Hope you get what you need today.
