What will it take for Humanity
to see the Light
to change dysfunction to that of Love?
♥
Yes it is easier to stay
in darkness and in dysfunction
for yes this is what is comfortable and is known.
♥
Growth which leads to Love takes great courage
much discipline and perseverance
yet it CAN be done.

Timely post, Amy, especially when this morning’s news is full of the usual violence, and the ridiculous cost of Super Bowl tickets. We are long overdue, as individuals and as a nation, for a turn back to positivity, a quiet revolution of love, one person, one life at a time.

I so agree with you, Celia, we are long overdo to turn back to LOVE. There are times I feel like a broken record here at Petals, but if that is what it takes to get others to hear Truth, that is exactly what I shall do. Have a wonderful weekend! Love, Amy

It takes great courage to step into Love, courage most people are not willing to do. Sad but true. When one steps into Love, that one discovers a world beyond all illusion. It was the way we are meant to Live. Thank YOU for understanding! Love, Amy

Cao, your words are so powerful that they hit me with such force, tears sprang to my eyes and I began to cry. I had to take my glasses off as I put my head in my hands to cry. To have but one person “see” me proves I have done what I came here to do. My friend, you have no idea how profoundly your words affected me. I struggle to find the words to thank you in return for the Gift you have given me today. I can only manage a mere thank you, humbly said, to you. You have touched me in such a way I am not able to describe. All the hard work and hours have been worth it just to be able to read what you wrote here today. Bless you from the bottom of my Heart. I shall never forget what you gave me today, Cao. Love, Amy

I see a lot of coming in to play here of what i know consider your ‘signatures’, the light in the back (which really makes for an unusual amber tone in the picture) and the blurring and focusing. It compliments your poem well, a light emerging from darkness.

Beacause it is what we learned to do and because it is familiar. When we step out of our comfort zone, it is just that, uncomfortable. Being creaures of habit, we don’t like uncomfortable. But, that is exactly where the most gain and growth are found. Love you! (((HUGS))) Amy
