A Village of One

 

Some days, I feel like a Village of One.

 

I marvel at how "gangs" band together to create destruction, chaos and fear..but seldom do we have "gangs" of do good-ers banding together to take a stand for Peace, Love and Joy....

 

Each loving sensitive person in this world feels like a Village of One; unable to have the strength to overcome these darker forces... alone.

 

Nice people are afraid of making people angry, we are conditioned to turn the other cheek; afraid to Stand, to become a target......

 

Setting Peaceful, Loving boundaries and speaking our truth will always annoy people who are not being their highest and best..

 

But your example will empower others to have the courage to Stand..........

 

With Love and Compassion and each other, we can make a difference.

 

You are not alone, have the courage to speak up, speak of Love, Hope and Peace;

and before you know it you will not be alone anymore....

 

Here is the thought for the day;

Peace Train

by Cat Stevens

Now I've been happy lately, 
thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, 
something good has begun

Oh I've been smiling lately, 
dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be, 
some day it's going to come

Cause out on the edge of darkness, 
there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, 
come take me home again

Now I've been smiling lately, 
thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, 
something good has begun

Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy  roller

Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on now peace train

Get your bags together, 
go bring your good friends too
Cause it's getting nearer, 
it soon will be with you

Now come and join the living, 
it's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer, 
soon it will all be true

Now I've been crying lately, 
thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating, 
why can't we live in bliss

Cause out on the edge of darkness, 
there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, 
come take me home again

 

Namaste,
Marianne Goldweber
