To Change the World


Can one person change the world?
Can one simple idea?
Real change can never be measured
never even be known
for once known, no longer is it change!

There are those on this world
who bring about such change,
who live simplicity in joy:
quiet, steady as the stars
in the night sky – points of light
shining bright, not to themselves;

There are those whose heart
is vast and open as the ocean;
of gentle word and soft mien,
a haven for those who hurt.

There are those whose soul
is like a mountain ringed with clouds:
whose thoughts are noble and wise;
who have the spirit of an eagle;
who remain graceful and free
in the face of all adversity

You will not find them in the temples
nor in the high places of power;
their faces do not grace the TV screen,
or fill pages in magazines.
Lucky are you to recognize one,
wise are you to emulate one.

OH this is just incredible writing.  Yes there are those who have this strength.  I think many at passions also share this type of wisdom, and that kind of heart.  Well done with tenderness and care.

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

(smiles) Each person can change and influence the world in such a wonderful way, and then all of us together can change the world with loving each other and creating harmony! (big hugggsssss) This is such a wonderful thought, sweet Sharran! (smiles) Have a beautiful day, dearest friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Windwalker, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

I guess if each of us give our best effort we can have an affect on changing the world. Great writing, WindWalker.  

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

ah, well...reading this makes me wonder how anyone could think that it's NOT possible to change the world : )
