Music touches us all in different ways.
It can heal hearts, calm our fears or create memories when heard.

The announcement was made yesterday, that Cuban dictator Fidel Castro died, November 26, 2016,
His brother, Raul Castro, made the announcement on Cuban television.
His death has created joy in the hearts of those who fled his regime and live in the United States.
The news reports of Cubans cheering in Miami, Florida was everywhere.
Yet, others who are living in Cuba are mourning his loss.
He was 90 years old. He’s ruled Cuba for over 60 years.
And, has outlived 6 of our presidents in the United States.
Whatever your political belief, changes are going to happen.
Who can say if it will be for the good or the bad of the people.
Politically things are shifting and changing everywhere; including here in the United States.
Let’s hope these changes, if and when they happen, are peaceful and of benefit to the people they represent.

Fidel Castro 🙏 R.I.P.
For today, let’s enjoy the music of Cuba.

Beautiful photo, Isadora! I can remember when Fidel Castro almost caused a nuclear war. Our teachers were teaching us to get underneath our desks when bombing started. I remember being so frightened. All the children were so frightened.

Thanks, PJ. I don’t follow political issues but do remember him and the issues that surrounded Cuba.
Let’s hope things will get better for the people who live there.

What a gorgeous photo, Izzy!! I can only imagine the feeling of joy of so many but yes, let’s hope the transition to Raoul (I think that’s right) is peaceful and more liberty is allowed.

Thank you for the lovely comment on my photo. I took the background out so that the orchid would visually pop.
I like the results too.
I checked the spelling to make sure. It is Raul Castro. There is an artist that spells his name Raoul Duffy.
I agree let’s hope the transition will be a peaceful one.
