Be As One
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

+*+*+*+*+*+
Mankind heed
this clarion call.
It’s all for One,
and One for all.

Stand not alone.
Lend helping hands,
or ye shall sink
in shifting sands.

Lift thine eyes
o’er swirling seas,
Towards the Light
where life be ease.

Unite and rise
and be as One,
Beneath the stars
and Father Sun.

Leave primal ways.
Cast dark behind,
~For the sake
of all mankind.
+*+*+*+*+*+

very fitting
for the morning after
such tragedy

circle of hands
breathe a prayer
surpass suffocation
of the love
we share

Hi, Juju!

I myself have not mastered Old English either! I'm just flying by the hem of my vestments and hoping for the best!

Linda

Your plea is heard by many....now the leaders of the world must heed, or nature will take its course, some will call it punishment, I will call it forced obedience.

At the same time that the bombs went off, the G8 conference was in full swing...

Pluses and minuses... what we can hope for is at least a balance...and after that,that the beam will tilt towards the nurturing side, and away from from the exploitive/explosive.

"Leave primal ways.
Cast dark behind,
~For the sake
of all mankind."

indeed...

Ford, your stimulating and thoughtful responses are always welcome! I thank you for this one ~ and I agree with what you have written.

Mankind most definitely must get its act together ~ or the one that we are living in, could be our last.

(big angel hugs) Oh Linda, this is such a touching and moving write, dearest friend, I absolutely agree with you, and how I wish our world leaders could agree just as much! (sigh) I still wish after our tragedy on 9/11 that we could stand united together longer than we did and solve the issues of the world with a sense of community and not having to result in war, but it isn't too late to go back to that! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, you have a golden, loving heart, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

A wonderful message, EA.  In recent months, I find myself thinking about ways I can bless others with my helping hand.  When our thoughts flow away from our own troubles and despair, we find joy.  The coolest thing... one simple act of kindness branches to touch countless others.
