When two psychics tell you the same thing,
Does that make it true?
Or is it merely coincidence?
What say you?

It felt right to me,
That the answers had finally been revealed,
Perhaps the Lord Buddah is right,
Our fates and past lives are already sealed.

**********************************************

Have you seen the telemovie or old movie,
'On the Beach'?
The terrors portrayed in this film,
Leave my soul confused and somewhat out of reach.

Will mankind's genius and marvels all end,
With a little blue pill?
We struggled for thousands of years,
To only learn how to kill?

Have human beings come so far?
Only to end it so stupidly?
Have we learnt nothing?
Is all we can do, kill ourselves repeatedly?

***************************************************

Is it our fate to be in between Heaven and Earth?
Have we resisted our fates?
Is that why we suffer?
Have too many of us turned away from God, the Goddess, Buddhism or Christianity?

If only mankind can learn to correct their mistakes,
To say sorry,
To hug and make things right,
Not push little red buttons, those buttons such a worry.

I have heard the song of enlightenment,
Most of you have heard it too I'm sure,
In your heart you can hear it now if you listen,
If you take a deep breath and open the door.

It is a song your spirit has always sung,
Since the moment of your birth,
Showing you, you ARE loved, you Are worthy,
And together we must save our Earth.

If nothing happens without reason,
Then the gift of suffering must bring us closer to God,
He teaches us to be strong when we are weak,
To be brave when we are afraid.

He has also taught us to love not hate,
Let go of that which we no longer hold,
To treat all mankind as though they were family,
And to not let pettiness, jealousy or violence take hold.

I try to do these things,
Each and everyday,
I know many of you try to as well,
Yet somewhere along the way mankind in general has lost it's way.

War produces one thing - Cemetaries,
And in cemetaries there are no enemies,
Enlightenment is within all things,
And goodwill towards all is the highest religion.

We must take stock,
Start anew,
We must all make changes starting today,
Including me and yes, even you....


Musings from a shell shocked and confused soul...
Hope it makes sense, and is not the ravings of a true lunatic...

Have you read The Hundredth Monkey?

Each one must reach one
to teach one
that we
are all
one.

I like your thoughts
and your passion for
humanity.

You are not a raving lunatic, dear Isis. Your words, as always, are honest and sincere. Truly from the heart.
   A message for all to heed. Life begins anew every day...make this day better than the one before...say one more kind word, give one more penny to charity, or one more minute of time to someone in need.
   The list is endless...there is a higher power in the works somewhere.
   Wonderful write...True Goddess of the Pen.

Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence.

The true lunatic at this point in time, his picture is on a wanted poster..loosing his freedoms fast and wondering who he can really trust with such a price on his head.  The world is learning fast how to sing in harmony. God bless you. Keep the faith.

and no, you're not a lunatic. . . just a soul that needs healing. . .

To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world.

Thankyou my friends, I was vefry hesitant in posting this, not sure how it would be taken, but I'm thrilled you all understood!!!

Sonjes - Oooh i like that - Goddess of the Pen     Perhaps I should put that in my signature!!???  Thanks  

Songbird - Thankyou, the sooner he is dealt with the better, then perhaps we can all learn anew, and start anew, and start better...

Sven,  Thanks as always, after it's taken me an hour to get online with those damned email problems, it's so sweet to know I'm understood as always...

Isis
Thanks
