Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate... but that we are powerful beyond means...




Poem Artwork



By Susan Kathryn de Vegter -


Shalom he said ...I'm Jewish
If that matters to you
I smiled within the comfort
What was I to do
I've never thought of differences
In me and any others
I always thought peacefully
We were technicolored brothers
Shalom I said ...my new friend
It's nice to welcome you
Then hand in hand we walked away
Together just us two
It makes no difference who you are
Your wealth or nationality
Your heart beats peace before you speak
It comes through more rationally
If we listen to our hearts and not what news reports
We would find love is universal
Theres nothing more to it
If we make a circle with our hearts
Then put all hate aside
To make our shine more uniform
We'd grow more hearts worldwide.

Well said. But those who profess a religion need to examine its blood-soaked history when all others are inferior and exterminated in the name of god.

It is hard to believe there is any love left in the world if you watch too much CNN.

These are wonderful dreams, Susan. There is such a huge gap between politics and humanity that it is beyond belief. It is a lot harder to hate someone once you have learned their name and established similarities than it is to engage fear and hate catagorically. If we all just roamed the earth without countries, borders and politicians, I think we could find peace within sister/brotherhood.
Take care,
Sherry

The Ghost of Mavis by Mary Lynn Plaisance

Mavis asked, "Am I a ghost again? I don't remember being a ghost, but I know I was." Do you believe in reincarnation?
