We Gather Together to ask…

We always think we Need what we Want
We never seem to have enough:
Money…Things…Status… Power.
We frequently forget the Less stuff that others Have
especially in balance with what they Need;
Less Food… Less Shelter… Less Health… Less Time.
We believe we are entitled more than the ‘others’ to all the Benefits of a Life well lived.
Some work hard and get by, some work harder and don’t…
Some let others do their work for them.
Remember that life is like a savings account,...
One should be able to access what one has put into it…
Not withdrawing upon the Spirit that others have banked.
May your days be full of bountiful blessings;
the awareness of them, and never forgetting  the sharing of those gifts with others

“Teach your Children Well”… “and you of tender years can't know the fears that your elders grew by”

(with thanks to Graham Nash)

Is the Earth round?
Do her oceans’ tides fall and rise?
Does her atmosphere support life?
Why do we doubt what we see?
Do our chests rise and fall with life’s breath, do our gills open and close?
Do we see the stars that died before as light or as pieces of ourselves?
Are the colour variations of plants and flowers so different than the hues of Man?
Was Man designed to be dissimilar; did we grow to match our boundaries and not our expanses?
Is the Zebra shunned for its two-toned stripes by the Lippizaner or Friesian?
Is the mind of Man so different than the other beasts?
If the Lion can lie down with the Lamb why can Man not find similarities amongst his own diversities?
