LOVE

I’ve been thinking a lot about love lately. Of course being the age that I am, you may assume that I’m talking about romantic love. But for the first time in my life… that idea is at the very back of my head.

I’m thinking about the people who I love in my life. The ones that make me feel 100% better after hearing their voice. Being away from these people has taught me how much they mean to me. And how wonderful my life is because of them. And I am so excited to see you all when I come home.

It seems that this world is getting sicker and sicker everyday… multiplying in disease, war, violence, starvation, nuclear disasters and extinction of nature. And we humans are to blame. I’ve been struggling to find balance in life because of this.

There is no doubt in my mind that the majority of people have the ability to Love. And there are some very strong people out there who can love through any situation, no matter how difficult. So I question where all this virally destructive action comes from. Of course ignorance is a part of it. But we can only be ignorant for a certain amount of time until we get slapped in the face by our own mess.

We’ve managed to pollute in every sense; Air, Water, Earth, even sound and light. We are making this world more and more difficult to live in. Our oceans have great garbage patches,The water we drink is contaminated with fluoride and chlorine and many other not so wonderful things. And we are the lucky ones who have access to potable water.

When I sleep at night I am disturbed by the constant noise of traffic and I’ve only seen a starry night 3 or 4 times this year. We need darkness, we need silence.
Plastic covers everything we touch, eat, consume.

Purity has become a luxury… and it should be our birthright.

We are in such a hurry to find a new source of energy, which is a good thing because nuclear energy is hurting people and the world, and the after affects will never leave the earth. But we forget that we have energy inside us. And there is energy in nature. And that energy is self sustainable and pure. We seem to have forgotten that it was possible to survive without all our so called “luxuries”.

Love. It is a source of energy. It may also be a choice, or fate, or whatever, but there is no denying that it is also energy. We can create it, give it and receive it. And I’m not only talking about the love between people, But with the world.

I know I sound like a hippy. And you may find some flaws in my message, because for our industrial and consumer world to end, none of us would know how to survive. We would all die. And I don’t want that. But with every love relationship, it takes time for the love to grow strong. So please take a minute today and every day, to give some love.
