Human flowers



If God is and God is love as some have said then those who have not known love in this lifetime will surely receive grace and understanding in the next life, feeling it shine through them.

There are many who could not embrace love, could not give or accept love. The broken people who yearned for it but did not recognize it. If God is love, if God is merciful, if God is unity, then these people will know at last the warmth, the peace and the completeness of love.

Their souls will uncurl, the masks will fall, and they will bloom like human flowers.

And if God is not - for them the torment and the yearning are over. I weep for them, for all of us. Life is fleeting and the time to risk, the time to dare, is now. The human potential, the hope of us all, is daily ground underfoot. Sheer neglect and the well placed barb do more to destroy the soul than any image we have of a mythical devil.

Evil lives and we are it.


Goodness lives and we are it.

As you will.
