where were we when the light shone bright
and peace covered the earth like a quilt
sewn in patch-work from the hearts of those
who lived and loved and learned

where were we when hope burst bright
radiating strong upon the scene
appearing as the power that pressed into
our minds, our souls, our beings

were we asleep in shallow beds of ease
eyes covered, not knowing, not caring
not wanting to see the evident beauty
of that which could be, of that which should be

and so we live the lives we live
as that which surely, simply is

Another truly wise and beautiful message from you. We need to awaken to love again and live consciously.

Very very much appreciated.

Love,
