We live in a world of loss;
we lose our innocence, our childhoods, our
Virginity.
Disasters happen, tragedy strikes, plagues and illnesses are
Rampant.
And then there are the things that we do to ourselves;
Wars, gang violence, drugs, corporate greed, governmental waste,
Industrial Pollution…crime, theft, embezzlement, Ponzi schemes.
The list just goes on and on.
How is it even possible to have Hope in
A world such as ours?
Why do we even strive for excellence, to
Make a difference in a world, gone so awry?
How can we let all this ugliness and woe slide off us,
Without going stark raving
Mad?
Inside each of us, there is a kernel of peace, a connection with
The source of everything, a link to the beginning.
Chaos is an integral part of all existence; as any
Physicist or Mathematician will tell us.
Yin-yang, every equation must have a balance.
Experience teaches us.
We move on, we move forward, we
Begin anew.
We build on the ruins of what has gone before.
There are some things that cannot be overcome
Or forgotten, some holes in your spirit and life cannot be
Filled.
Still, you move one.
That is Hope. That is continuity.
To remember what is lost, is to keep it alive.
To share the Pain and Loss of others, is to share in our
Mutual Humanity.
Reach for that kernel of peace, that connection to the
Source;
That will always, eventually, bring you to a place
Of peace.
Search for the peace, reach for the hope,
Don’t ever give up.
