An Act of Love A darkened landscape, burned out buildings, ghosts of twisted trees line deserted streets: a deadly war has raged here, and probably still does. Does anyone still live inside these broken homes or is it only their ghosts who cry and moan in the wind blowing through empty windows? A black bird, once white, flutters weak wings across a greying sky: Had children once pointed at it flying through a sunny morning? Hope had once flourished over this desecrated world, the hope of light, of life, of love, but forces of darkness intervened: at the moment of freedom a new weapon was forged: the ultimate lie was unleashed! An old earth staggers in the dark within an old system grown cold; an earth fed by fear and chaos; an earth darkened by hate and distrust; an earth peopled by those who refused to see the signs back then. A new earth spins brightly somewhere in the galaxy, an earth nourished in hope and joy; an earth enlightened by love; an earth peopled by light beings who read the signs back there. Within the new found joy of earth set as a jewel in space sadness reigns still for those who feel the pain of chains, the moaning and crying of slaves trapped by their unbelief within their burned out world. So the call goes out once more: and volunteers line up eagerly for another mission impossible: to return incognito upon old earth and commit an act of love. |

Amid the darkness and chaos, you found a bit of light, and offered a warm ray of hope. Now, to see how many will take the step to spread love instead of hate. Count me in, WW, as a volunteer, both now and in the future. |
