"A Dedication to the World"

i was listening to some soothing tunes on the radio last night. to be exact it was 98.1, which captures easy R&B listening in the Bay Area. there was a listener out there who made a request, which i thought i'd share. usually, when listeners call in, you know, they make their request for the dj to play a song for their sweetheart, or their best friend, or their parents, or a warrior overseas. while these requests of course capture a love that we share for those most immediately connected to our lives, this man took that notion a step further. he collected this love that we each share for our respective families and friends, and made a special request, when he said, "hey brother, i'd like to make a request," and the dj said, "sure," and the listener, said, " i want to dedicate this song to the whole world." the dj, a bit taken a back, said, "the whole world?" i think the dj was perhaps thinking in strictly literal terms, and mentioned how that was not realistically possible. (i.e. that a song on a radio can only reach those listeners within the local geographic region which covers that frequency). yet, i disagree with that. here, came this listener who took himself out of the limitations we impose upon ourselves to love only those who we are supposed to love, and extended a heartfelt dedication which reached further than his own brother, his own child, his own wife, or father. he sent a song to the universe. i say, the waves of generosity are more powerful than the vibrations of sound...
