the world is in need

mjd. 2015 present moment offering bowl

our world is in need

(always)

of peace

of love

& kindness.

while it may be beyond 

our abilities

to stop acts of evil and violence,

we need not participate in

promote

or empower them. 

in each moment

you have a choice

(we all do).

you choose your thoughts

your words

your actions.

learn to know yourself.

be vigilant.

use your moments

to nurture the world

and its inhabitants.

we create the climate

of our planet.

but merely to seek and find

all the barriers within yourself

that you have built against it.'

'your task is not to seek for love,

but merely to seek and find

all the barriers within yourself 

that you have built against it.'

'healing takes courage, and we all have courage,

 even if we have to dig a little to find it.'

~ tori amos

tears and water can wash away the rough edges of life... 

loosening thoughts and feelings long buried...
