Lay down thy sword and take up thy heart,
And have passion, one for another.
For passion is the conqueror of hate
And hate be the enemy, we shall seek and destroy.
Smite not thy brother,
For he is the fruit of thy loins,
Made by love.
But lift him above all else.
Be wise to thyself, so that wisdom may guide you,
To lead others to correction.

For in life,
malignant actions bring forth retaliations,
Which brings forth casualties of innocence.
Break the chains, which have been passed down,
From father to son
And mother to daughter.
Embrace each other and leave death to be caused
By age and not by the hands of another.

Wow..."A Lesson" was a perfect title for this...It holds much wisdom that I wish the rest of the world could have

I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Albert, this is so very true, sweet friend, and it saddens me to see our own leaders of this country wanting to take the other approach, through war, when that will only create more violence than we ever could imagine! (sad sigh) Let Him be heard as He is our true dictator, let's embrace with Love, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Albert, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah your comments always light me up, even though the saddness of what you say is true! I should hope and pray all turns out well for our country and our soldiers do not have to die for other peoples pettiness
