What we like
- So many of us know the words to the chorus, but it is the words in between that really explain the true depth of this song. The words prompt us to wonder what is the love that is being spoken of? What is the depth of this love?
Soul experience
- We love the Pavarotti and Friends version of this song. Pavarotti brought together different artist live in concert and he would perform their songs with them. In 2000 a concert included the Eurythmics, George Michael and Tracy Chapman. For the final performance all the artists joined together on stage and sang All You Need is Love
To reflect on
- There’s nothing you can know that isn’t known
Nothing you can see that isn’t shown - All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

Winston Churchill – stumble
“Men stumble over the truth from time to time, but most pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened.”
James Allen – mind’s garden
“A man’s mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind. “
Thich Nhat Hanh – attention
“The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.”
