i’m writing you a letter…it’s crazy but, i have things to say to you…more like dreams to share…you are very important to me, although you don’t realize it…have we met?…can’t say if we have or not, but, i know you are meant to be with me…anyway…i’ve got a dream of you and i walking hand in hand…nothing needs to be said, we’re just taking in the day, the smell of flowers, the sound of children laughing…it’s a warm one, but a storm is coming and the smell of rain mingles with that of the flowers…you are smiling at me and you catch my eye…i ask you what you’re smiling about…you shake your head, answer nothing but, i know better…it doesn’t need to be verbalized, it just is…we’ve found each other and we fit…and what seemed a long time taken to find you, i realize, was just the time we needed to become ready…it took all the pain, all the joy, all those years to form us, and now, we fit…well, g’nite for now, i’ll write more later…

love,

me

p.s.  write back!

…an email that sarcastically blasted anyone and everyone who has stood against the U.S. during the conflict in Iraq…this man called for the isolation of this country and the limiting of aid to only those countries that stand with us…he called for no longer aiding other countries and instead focusing on our own…

first off…what does answering animosity with animosity do?  create more animosity…

second…who are we really punishing when we withhold our aid to other countries?  certainly not the governments, we hurt families; men, women and children who only know what they are told…they are told over and over and over that the U.S. is bad, bad, bad…so…we’re going to reinforce this sentiment?

third…this world ain’t gettin any smaller…what happens in other parts will, inevitably, have an effect on us…

fourth…how unGod like…how truly sad…and, what a misdirection of intention…

i say, we take a breather, fine…nothing wrong with that…but, we can’t take too long of a break…we’ve got work to do…first thing…change the way we direct our thoughts…folks, believe it or not…our focus creates an energy that will attract exactly what we are focused on…focus on hate, you’re gonna get hate…focus on love and, love will surround you…there needs to be a complete and universal overhaul on the way we’ve operated as a planet…this will take time and a helluva lotta patience but, my God…what a worthwhile venture! 

“If there is light in the soul, there will be beauty in the person. If there is beauty in the person, there will be harmony in the house. If there is harmony in the house, there will be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.”-Chinese Proverb

take a walk with me, be quiet and still your mind…
let’s walk up to that mountain in the distance…
when we get to the top, we will stand and listen…
close our eyes and listen with our hearts and spirits…
and we will hear them…
we will hear the drums of our ancestors…
we will listen to the songs of the old ones…
there will be no differences in race, color or class…
the music of the ancient tribes throughout the world will combine…
and the songs will become one song…as familiar to our souls as tho’
we’d sung them too…
and we have, we just don’t remember…
we will stand on this mountain, you and i and we will know peace…
we will know love…we will remember…
for who we really are is not so different from one another…and those differences…
ahh, those precious differences are what is so beautiful and sacred in each of us…

we will remember…
