“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it–always.”
~ Mahatma Gandhi
Wake Up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I felt like yelling this from the hilltops this morning for all of humanity to hear. I heard this scream, as I almost slept through the sunrise, up late chatting with a friend about reality, the nature of life on earth.
I heard it again, as two seagulls broke the silence during my sitting with their eerie cry. Something I haven’t heard until today.
WAKE UP!!!
And honestly, there is a small part of me that doesn’t want to wake up to this world I live in. I cannot make any sense of human beings. Why we are driven to take the life of another. And you know for me, this includes all sentient beings: human, animal, trees, all of it.
Where real happiness exists, you do not.

“We all know earth is a difficult school … The real lessons of life are learned by recognizing and coming to terms with being human. It is how we stand up to failure and duress which really marks our progress in life.”
Albert Einstein states: “The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.”
My heart aches. And I know that each and every one of your heart aches too!! And I’ll bet that if we think of every single person each of us knows, none of us can fathom anyone in our circle of humans who would place a bomb in the middle of a congregation of people with the intent to kill.
This is what keeps me going. That what lies in my heart, and your heart, and what lies in the heart of everyone we know, is beautiful. All that is required of me, of you, is that we continue to be a light, and that we do not drop into darkness and despair. As long as we are the majority, just as Gandhi says, love always triumphs.
And so I give you this flower today, a symbol of beauty, a symbol of what will come and go. A symbol of my light, and that I am trying to give voice to that light. The sun that always rises, no matter what us humans do ♥
