You have a gift, your words have a meaning that touches us inside! God bless you.

There are words and words, there are empty woeds and words with a heart and feelings and the latter are your words!
Thank you so much for sharing!

Words

If words alone were a comfort,
they would have come rounded,
soft, caressing tight packed
ready to hug, fluffy and downy.

Instead they come along a line,
on a page or carved on stones,
or spat out from angry mouths
the drunken curse or scolding.

If words alone were a comfort
I could rest my poor weary head
upon a safe soft dictionary
and let the world spin ever on.

But words in newsprint shock,
the unsuspecting text or letter
gives us bad news from afar
bereavement or money owing.

Words alone can’t be a comfort,
nor have any healing touch
unless touched by a feeling heart
and given as an act of love.

lovely lovely life
comes hotfoot now
on wings of breath
it brings no death
but fresh new times
that invites us all again
to leave behind the pain
of holding onto separateness
and thinking thoughts of 'you' and 'us'
when in the midst of all our helplessness
we get to feel Love.

A Word

If words could heal the hurt
life would become a book
if a single word could cure
I wish I could tell it to you.

There is such a special word
but its power is not in itself,
it is most potent when given
in a hug, a look or a smile.

The word that I have in mind
really has to be lived each day
as through our selfless actions
it speaks direct to the heart.

This word has suffered much
but still it cares for us all,
and it is this tiny word
that embraces us all.

In the darkest hour,
when life is bad,
this little word,
says “Love”.

Roll away from me the weight of dead and frozen thoughts.

Clear away from me the fogs of falsely sweet illusions.

Ignite in my heart the warmth of true love

That with my new eyes of new love

And my angel at my back

I may see the Truth of the World

I may feel the Beauty of the World.

And I may act with courage for the good

hmmm
there are different kinds of love in this world
love of friends, family , children , parents , mates, lovers
some loves come with hate and this must be overcome
but there is a love within us all that is pure untouched *
we each have a heart of gold waiting to be embraced
this love only need be felt ~
shared or not it still exists and is the most fulfilling experience
for a human being
touching embracing the eternal within us *

love to all , janice

So many people are calling, praying and demanding peace upon our beloved planet right now. Let us all be reminded that true peace is found when we are at peace within. Be at peace and you create a world of peace. Do not just pray for peace, become peace itself.

Take the time to find the natural peace that resides within and you add to the real feeling of peace to everyone and everything around you. Let go of your fears and doubts and that of others. Be extremely discerning in what you focus your attention upon right now and question the messages and reflections. If it is loving, expand it. If it is less than loving, critical or in any way invokes hatred, fear or anger, release it and return to peace.

It is an amazing time and many would like to make you think that doom and despair, fear and attack, are waiting around every corner. Don't believe it. Create your own pictures of reality and fill them with peace and love. Walk in joy and harmony and know that all is well.

You can add your energy to this vision by contemplating peace and tapping into the higher desire for peace at any moment. This is especially helpful when you choose a particular time each day (for example 9 p.m.) to feel and think about peace for a few minutes, building a sustainable rhythm and habit.

"A flower has opened my heart...


What flower is this, what flower of spring,
What simple, secret thing?
It is the peace that shines apart,
The peace of daybreak skies that bring
Clear song and wild swift wing.
