Wise words. There is always at least a little light to reach for.

Wisdom tells me I cannot forsake humanity, for I am humanity, and I must go back and deal with it.

I am humbled...

These are thought-inciting and sobering thoughts indeed, Eileen. Love and peace to you,

Regis

to forgive the most decrepid of humanity is a far greater service than prayer...for each of us is within every other...humbling indeed :)

we will be long gone before humanity evolves into an enlightened race, if at all, so just look ahead to brighter horizons after cleaning the dust from your weary thoughts ...

Eileen,
It's been well said in the reviews before this...the sense of questioning is powerful, the feelings mature, wise and frustrated because we know there are better paths to take than the ones we're on...and yet we're inescapably linked, we're part.

Fine work.

John

The last 2 lines are so lovely! All of us feel the way you do, but are unable to give it expression. Keep it up!

Strong visuals, strong vision... stirring emotion, galvanising will and purpose. This "seeing" is very compelling, Eileen. The mood and tone you write in convey this sense of compulsion and urgency very well. It's convincing, too: especially the fact that it is almost "despite ourselves" and in the process of feeling humbled that such conviction comes about. Thanks for sharing. Yes, we are part of the whole... xx

despite the disgust we feel for our fellow man at times, the compassion and love come charging back at warp speed -- and we know we must intercede to sop the waste and disolussionment they are suffering under -- even the self inflicted mental stagnation that reaps helpless souls -- we are endowed with the love of our creator and cannot abandon our kind -- peace and love Eileen - this is a powerful statement my dear friend -- Jon Michael
