too Buba
 
 

Each time it is listened to it once again brings tears for all those little ones alone and lost who are suffering similar pain and prayers that they may find their own loving person to believe in them and help them heal.

 
Everyone needs loving people in their lives.I to pray for healing for those who are lost alone in this world in the hope they too will find people who believe in them and help them grow.
 
Love and ((((♥♥))))

And A Meadow Lark Sang

The child whispered, "God, speak to me"
And a meadow lark sang.
The child did not hear.

So the child yelled, "God, speak to me!"
And the thunder rolled across the sky
But the child did not listen.

The child looked around and said,
"God let me see you" and a star shone brightly
But the child did not notice.

And the child shouted,
"God show me a miracle!"
And a life was born but the child did not know.

So the child cried out in despair,
"Touch me God, and let me know you are here!"
Whereupon God reached down
And touched the child.

But the child brushed the butterfly away
And walked away unknowingly.

When Lighting candles today I noticed there are 13,547 candles from 121 countries glowing.
 
Love does really shine a light in ever corner of the world.

Give Time
Whatever or whoever you give time to, you give your attention to. Whatever gets your attention gets your energy. Whatever gets your energy must grow. So what will you give your time to today - who will get your attention? What or who needs your attention? Is it a task, a process or a relationship? Or are you waiting for these things to give you time and attention? How long have you been waiting? Why are you waiting? Are you a leader or a follower, a master or a slave? Mmmm...all questions today!

This has been one of my key-quotes for a long time. It´s so true - let´s pass it on to whoever we can...
(That´s why I sometimes hesitate to express myself in English, being afraid I may not know how people will be affected by what I say...)

Love to all of you, dear friends!

Thank you for sharing the story from Teddy with us.
It touched my heart so very, very fast...
 
love,
is.

If you want to know something about someone, listen to your heart.

No man should feel, like he is on an island...
 
 
 

 
 
... (this thought I have got today, as I read John Donne:o) - it´s one of my favorites -)...
 
love,
is.

We all need to remember this don't we?

Love is the only way

yes, we do . . .
as so much of the time
I feel like I am on an island . . .
not here on the forum so much,
but in the world I live in . . .
  

everything counts... ♥

Jude, you say it..
and we know
that many people
feel like this...
 
as sparrow, I feel the
most time the same -
even some special people
are around us...
but feelings cannot always
be shared
cannot often be re-enact
of others...
 
but sometimes, as the hours
with special people at home,
or reading here
or be out, as I was today,
for thus moments
I can be grateful
because it is more
as I expect.
 
love, is.

If you want to know something about someone, listen to your heart.

Dear Isabella,
 
Your quote reminds me of a book written by Thomas Merton with the title, "No Man is an Island"
 
The first chapter is entitled, "LOVE CAN ONLY BE KEPT BY BEING GIVEN AWAY"
 
And it starts, "A happiness that is thought for ourselves alone can never be found: for happiness that is diminished by being shared is not big enough to make us happy."
 
Yes, we often feel like an island, but then it just occurred to me that islands only appear to be solitary. Deep down on the ocean floor they are connected.
 
If we reach deep down into our hearts we discover that we are all connected.
 
Love,
Edda
 

Peace and joy!

I can be grateful because it is more as I expect.

 
Dear Isabella, I suspect that, at such moments, you are truly being yourself.
Also, it just occurred to me, you are being a friend to yourself at such times.
 
 
"If we reach deep down into our hearts we discover that we are all connected. "
 
We are indeed dear Edda!
 
Love,
Jude
 
 

Love is the only way

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi (1207-1273) - Guest House

This being human is a guest house
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

Thank you for sharing this poem,

reminding me once again,
that it is all good.
