Eternal Flame

May the eternal flame of peace, love and goodness endure. May compassion shine brighter everyday, until mankind distinguishes the furious fire raging among a humanity starving for respect and the essential necessities of life.

 

May you find quiet ports in your storms and may your hopes, dreams and prayers be lifted to an elevated place where you can share your blessings and lighten the burdens of those who do not know how or cannot lift themselves up, and may every drop of love and goodness that you receive flow freely from you into the broken hearts and spirits of those who can only imagine such riches.

Daylight and Darkness

From here in Rio Rancho, New Mexico
the sun shines it's bold brilliance on the day,
 the light is bright and beautiful.

On the other side of the world,

 Disaster strikes in North Eastern Japan, lives have been destroyed, darkness from mass destruction hovers, it is terrifying and more frightening than one can even imagine. Waves of shock prevail, profound grief grows by the minute as earthquakes resonate with more devastation, a nightmarish tsunami swells sweeping across precious life, history, infrastructures, farm land, nuclear power plants with safety very much in peril. 
Sorrow scours over the rich and poor, arrogant and humble, haves and have not's. So many with so much life and love left in them... Their story should not end here as the survivors are left to pick-up and carry-on... to repair and rebuild, some with nothing more than physical fatigue, exhaustion, mental and emotional anguish and broken hearts and bones to mend. 

     Our lives unfold mysteriously one day at a time,

one person suffers through the day as another revels in it's glory.
Blessings abound in one part of this swollen, spectacular, insane planet as misery prevails in another.

I pray that somehow some bit of light, comfort, respite and peace of mind is brought to bear amidst any suffering, any brokenness and despair.
