If I could make a miracle, I’d gift to thee, one perfect eye for the world to see. I’d gift you two if I could guarantee you’d not have to see 3D inhumanity. I’d gift an ear to hear robins songs, but two would just double sounds of human wrongs. My gift to you instead shall be this daily chant for humanity: O God, let there be Peace on Earth. O God, let there be Peace on Earth. O GOD, O GOD, I beg of thee, let there be PEACE for you and me. |

Well stated .... sometimes lesser is not the greater of two evils. And the chant ..... seen and heard by all of "One". Thank you for the peaceful thought and smile!! ![]() |

Very beautifully written, I always pray for peace as well...maybe one day. Of all I've lost; I miss my innocence the most. |

For a second there, I began picturing a creation by Ray Harryhausen from The Seventh Voyage Of Sinbad, what with the one eye and all... but even THEY never seemed to really have peace either... Perhaps it awaits us on "the other side"...? -MVS "AS ABOVE SO BELOW" |

Thank you for these replies. Mark, but what if there is no 'other side' and this is all there really is? I'd like my cake now. |

Kacy, but there ALWAYS is another side -- metaphysical law of paradox. I can only imagine given this third dimension of negativity that "the other side" must be proportionately better... -MVS "AS ABOVE SO BELOW" |
