May the people of Syria know the
beauty of transformation

May the violence come to an end..
and leaders of peace and for peace..
move you toward
the transformation
that you seek!

Shelter from the storm...

All of us need
a place
to shelter ourselves
from the
constant waves of
daily life...
Where is yours??

Take a break....

May our love help to ease the pain!

http://www.freenaturepictures.com/morpho-butterfly-pictures.php
As we realize the power of our thoughts, let's send loving thoughts to our sisters and brothers in Honduras,where a fire has claimed the lives of over 300 people.

The early news reported that the fire was in an overcrowded prison and the prisoners could not be reached, as they cried for help, because the guards with the keys could not be located. 

Just knowing that folks care and are with us in our pain makes a big difference.

To all the men, women and children, whose  lives were touched by this pain, and grief, we send you love, peace, strength...and hope.  We want you to know that we your family care. We are with you and hold you all in our hearts as you walk through this very difficult time today and in all the days ahead.

The Expression of Love...

http://www.freenaturepictures.com/beach-sunset-pictures.php
Love is the strongest message of every spiritual tradition and every spiritual awakening.
Love is patient in a world of impatience, kind in a world of attack.
Let us express God: "God is Love and we who abide in love abide in God and God in us"

Love is where we live, where we abide, whether we are the 7th generation in our town
 or a newly-arrived refugee
Love is welcoming in a world of division, sharing in a world of greed.
Let us express God: "God is Love and we who abide in love abide in God and God in us"

Love is a better motivation than guilt, a better reason than obedience.
Love is forgiving in a world of punishment, redemptive in a world of blame.
Let us express God: "God is Love and we who abide in love abide in God and God in us"

Love is alive, organic, and growing.
Love is nurturing in a world of destruction, positive in a world of endangerment.
Let us express God: "God is Love and we who abide in love abide in God and God in us"
