My generation lost one of its icons with the passing of Tina Turner. Her legendary singing and dancing will continue to inspire many more generations to come. Her life story encourages us all to rise above all difficulties and use our talents to the fullest.
Her later years teach us to turn to our spiritual practices in order to face tragedy and loss. Even though she continued to sing rock ‘n’ roll, her Buddhist chanting soothed her soul. I will forever cherish my memories of her from my earliest introduction to Proud Mary all the way thru to her Nichiren Mantra offering.
Whose talents have inspired your whole life? Who’s heroic journey have you followed after? Ki to Happiness keeps rolling on the river like Tina sang.
