Love, love, love. Love is the way. Love is all you need. Love is all around us. Love is the answer. Love is real, real is love. Love is you, love is me. Love is free, free is love. Love is the gift of gifts. Love is life. Love is all. And that's all I have to say about that... :^) ♥

The sun, the moon, the stars, the truth. And the greatest of these, is truth.

You're just left with yourself all the time, whatever you do anyway. You've got to get down to your own God in your own temple. It's all down to you, mate. ~ John Lennon

If you are in a hurry you will never get there. Chinese Proverb

Buddha, Ghandi, Jesus say
Peace and Love, the way

Life is a gift called Love.

All for one. One for all. All for love.

Happy International Peace Day

Peace and Love— May we all recognize the importance of peace and love as the given way of life for the betterment of humanity.

We should all do our part to help shift the consciousness of humanity to peace and love—there are a lot of people to reach out to, and there is a lot to do before peace and love becomes the given way of life of humanity. The world is transforming, and the new world is coming—and it will be defined by peace and love. HOW do we individually help achieve true peace? Peace starts individually within us, and is reached out through Love to those around us, one person at a time, until our collective effort is millions upon millions strong, with voices and real actions given of peace and love. 

Remember, every act of kindness—no matter how small—makes our world a better place for us all—and that’s what it’s all about. :^) ♥

the heart

pray the heart beats steady
and echoes the rhythm of the pounding seas

pray the heart is generous
bountiful as the harvest

pray the heart seeks truth
searching from the depths of the valley
to the mountain tops

pray the heart seeks peace
quiet as a sunrise and tranquil as a sunset

pray the heart is pure
and mirrors the beauty of a rainbow.

Blessings to you, wherever you are...

In remembrance...

In remembrance of all those fallen, disabled, and with wounded hearts, with the hope and prayer that peace and love will rule our lives — that peace and love will truly become the given way of humanity’s future. 

Love is the answer. Love can change the world. Be the best of humanity. Lead the way through love. Love yourself first, you are a unique creature given a gift called Life.

Peace starts individually within us, and is reached out through Love to those around us. 
Give love, and receive peace.

Dreams become realities. Dream of a peaceful world. A world of love, respect, courtesy, tolerance, sharing, giving, hugs, smiles, and joy — joy for the gift of life. Dream it, and it can, and will happen.

No matter whether you are religious, an atheist, or what your philosophy of truth may be, the purest statement of peace and love — personally, that I have heard — is reflected in this message from Jesus Christ that said, “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

If we were to live our lives by just one rule, let it be that Love rules our life. May peace and love be with you friends, Thomas. :^) ♥

Fall seven times, stand up eight. ~ Japanese Proverb

Be the best of humanity. Lead the way through love.

Yes We Can:

The vast majority of the people in the world live their lives with honesty, love, and giving. The universe does not favor the vicious, though it may appear so—its helps the honest and virtuous. 
Collectively—with one good deed per person, given freely with love, with constant effort every day, and multiplied by the millions upon millions—we will eventually shift our world towards peace and love as the given way of life. 
We must believe that, work it, and strive for it—every day. 
Namaste', my friends. :^) ♥

Happy Peace Day to All Peace & Love Peeps of Planet Earth.

Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil. ~ Jerry Garcia

Life is beautiful, like this...

Love is all around us, every one of us, and we are blessed with abundant gifts—you can't even count them all....

One sweet dream, that peace and love shall rule the world.

What religion you practice in life isn't that important, it's how much you practice peace and love that really matters ~ Themis Eagleson

journey

I looked up at the clouds
and one was smiling back at me

I walked near by a tree
and it reached down to embrace me

I walked along a sandy beach
and the soft cool sand soothed my feet

I jumped into the ocean
and it completely refreshed me

I looked up at the sunset
and what I saw made my heart ache

Life is a love song, sing along...

All You Need is Love

footprints

what footprints shall I leave behind?
compareth me not to
Buddah’s knowledge
Confucious’ patience
da Vinci’s prodigiousness
Gandhi’s simplicity
Jesus’ purity
Longfellow’s prose
Michelangelo’s artistry
Mother Teresa’s love
Shakespeare’s drama
Thoreau’s enlightenment
yet, I drink the water that quenched their thirst
and, breathe the air that gave them life
and, laid footfall on the dust of this earth
yet, on a path uniquely my own.
