"...so much heat so little light"

Tending the Light fiat justitia ruat mundus: fiat lux Humankind seems hell-bent on being unkind As if shedding the skin of humanity Like a snake wriggling out of its higher mind No more content to agree to disagree Now everyone must be absolutely right Generating so much heat so little light Those who are locked-out look from the outside in The last having least the most generous here Who cannot compete and therefore cannot win But neither can they lose and are used to fear And these are my people out here in the night Have your heat inside: out here we tend the light +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMVI

How right you are! If only we had more tenders of the Light this world would be a better place to live in for us all.

Deep and meaningful write my friend and I have been on both sides of the light and heat so I know exactly what you are talking about.

I'm sure there are many versions of those who *tend the light* and those who *heat inside,* according to their/your/my station in life; but my final thought is Yes, there are tenders of the light. Well done. Peace.

Earth-centric Humanity at the Crossroads by Martin Treon

For the reasons I describe in this book, the world-wide suffering, death and extinction of humanity is very likely to occur, unless nonviolent and democratically determined radical and revolutionary personal and societal actions and changes are taken
