You'll never walk alone......
Human heart in a disconnected world
“You’ll never walk alone” is the famous anthem of Liverpool Football (Soccer) Club and yet I find it transcends sport. Although yes I’m a sports fan, I’m not a Liverpool supporter per se and I notice that every time I hear this anthem I end up with tears in my eyes and a heart bursting with love and awe.
These are ordinary people creating a moment of magic together.
In a world where we can feel so separate and where too many of our relationships are virtual these moments of true human connection seem even more precious and powerful. We get to drop all our woes, judgements, fears, loneliness and separation to come together as one.
It speaks to a deeper part of ourselves that remembers this feeling of union….of Oneness…of joy.
What would the world be like if we’d more of these?
So enough words….. better to spend 3 minutes hearing and experiencing the magic yourself today whether you’re a sports fan or not. This is so much more!
May it fill your heart and lift your Soul - here’s a link to a rendition of 95,000 football fans singing it in Melbourne.
It was a little too laddish for me... Not a sports gal... Will confess to some tears during the Olympics though! And there are certainly other communal experiences where I've felt what you're writing about. (Patti Smith, "People Have the Power", free concert in a park in Austin, TX, 2000)
We're still getting used to coming out of our covid chrysalises.
