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"

The human face of resistance!

"A thin man rests his head on the shoulder of a burqa-clad woman,

the pair collapsed together against

a wall"

The World Press Photo jury has selected a New York Times photo

 taken in Yemen last fall as the photo of the year

for its encapsulation of the anguish that accompanied the Arab Spring uprisings.

Rock hard resistance!!

My heart goes out to our sisters and brothers in Syria.  They are standing in rock hard resistance to the powers that have dominated their lives for so long.  So many have given their lives in this struggle.

Take a minute and send love and strength to these valiant family members.

May the hearts of those who fight for power and control be softened...

May the people...win in their stand for freedom and peace

and may the controlling powers finally let go...with no more pain and death.

Brothers and Sisters seeking peace many of your family members

stand with you and support you in your journey to peace.

Lighten up!

How often I've heard the phrase "written in stone"!  Sometimes I need to remember that all things said by me or others are not written in stone.  Each of us can change and do change, and I want to honor that for

myself and for all I come in contact with.

I also am often very curious as to how and what created the markings in the stone itself. Some seem accidental while others are much more deliberate. May we in the human family be open to the ancient wisdom that our stone family members provide for us. Thank you stone family for your presence and wisdom. As I learn more and more about the wonderful web of life we share, I am understanding and seeing you in a whole new way.

Peace....

Be to you....!
