May we practice a Love that
allows us to embrace all life
with the action of realizing our kinship
with all that lives. This is true Love.
May we realize a Love that
allows us to see the thread
that connects everything on Earth.
For we can all lay claim to our descent from God.

Can’t you see? the use of the bomb
for the affordable destruction of people is
the most horrific use of science! The Earth’s tomb
shall one day read, “They refused to use
the only thing that the bomb could not
destroy, Love.” Unless the people adopt
peace,
hate will be the suicide of humanity.
Intolerance must be stopped.
Can you hear that? it’s the sound of the poor
Ones begging for the true reason about
What it was that there child died for.
Can you hear them? Mothers scream! Fathers shout!

“And the Lord God formed man of
the dust of the ground, and breathed
into his nostrils the breath of life;
and man became a living soul.”
-Genesis 2:7
The beauty of creation is the breath;
and beings of the earth are its background.
The attraction of life keeps us from death
by guiding our being to the breaths sound.
Everything is music, --is the sound of the breath
of life,--which is the unstruck sound.
Everything outside comes from
with-in. Thank you God!

If I do something helpful, does
that mean that I am real?
The silent voice said, “Each moment lived
is an occasion for you to hurt or heal.”

(The End is Nothing. The Road is all: Willa Cather)
I don’t know of any faith outside
Of the human heart.
We are all all of us in one.
The beauty of truth rest in each breath
But we search in buildings and symbols and there we hide
not realizing that all things are sustained by one gift...Only
one.
