My Love
ReplyDeleteEverybody loves me.
Nobody hates me.
Guess I've been confused.
Open my head up;
Take my brain out;
Turn it around and it's infused
With Truth, with Love, with God up above,
With God below and inside.
Now that I know the way that It is,
There no further reason to hide
My Love, my love, my Love, my love
There's no further reason to hide.
Open my head up;
Take my brain out;
Turn it around don't divide.
The slower I go,
the more quickly I be at where I am.
On a Walk
The sky is in my head
The earth is in my belly
Birds are on my tongue
Their flutters surround my ears.
Change
Nothing can be done to change
the way things are,
But something can be done to change
the way things seems to be.
Divine Corollary
Two Individuals, equal to God,
Are equal to each Other.
The Sky
The sky will fall
The earth will rise
To open Love.
No Thing
Can you see no thing
And be no thing
Until you are filled completely
with sky? ...
Oh, Blessing! No one to answer.
My vision could not be summed up any better than this part of President OBAMA's speech:
ReplyDeleteOur challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends - hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism - these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility - a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.
This is the price and the promise of citizenship.
