Wherein?

With so much exterior influence and persuasion opting to change us, might there be another answer somewhere in the maze? (Image by pinterest)

Wherein?

 

Wherein comes…

 

The will to be human

The task of discipline

The desire to give more than one receives

To forgive rather than resent?

 

Wherein comes…

 

The design of our species shown alive

Becoming what heart/mind coalition means

Wandering truly about on the many roads untraveled

Avenues of convergence

Streets of darkness meeting the light

Dead-end alleys for learning

Lessons as the never ending maze induced journey?

 

Wherein comes...

 

Life finding its true meaning

The appreciation and respect of nature

The acceptance and respect for human frailties

The ability to embrace the weak

Exalt the strong

Entreat those of need?

 

For…

 

Wherein is the core of one’s being

The only place that can honestly BE

What the word sentience was created for

What our existence is about

What so many lack?

 

The state of

Love

Indeed, you really sum it up in the end, what so many lack, namely love. Would that there were more love around, perhaps then the world would be in a better place and humanity would express more powerfully its true nature. It's all about love, that's what perpetuates the world.
