At times when the heart is crying perhaps the things to do is listen to "A song for peace." To listen to the voices around the world expressing their hopes, dream, fears, pain, and joy. To realize that the crying is not done alone, but together and it is not time to sit down, but to stand up and sing--sing for peace, love, and hope.
What questions have I not asked? It is so easy to go with the flow and stick inside my comfort zone--not seeking to stretch and grow--to learn new things--to experiences new ways--to see different world views.
I too have a dream...a dream that if followed perhaps knows the way...
WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER! We are not a one man island, but are placed on this earth to learn to live together...if not, to die together. Going hand in hand takes courage to stretch out our own and place it in another's; Going hand in hand takes love to open ones heart to new understandings. We...are in this together
Perhaps faith, hope and charity are often paired together because peace within and without cannot be complete without one or the other...One must have faith in their self--that they have the potential to succeed and take action to make the world a better place--having faith in humanity, in our brothers and sisters. One must have hope, for "the moment you lose hope you’re not a thinking person, open to change. You have nothing to strive for. End of story" (Movie: Promises). One must have charity for "without charity man is nothing" unable to love he stands alone...not together with his fellowmen.
“A vision is not just a picture of what could be; it is an appeal to our better selves, a call to become something more.” ~ Rosabeth Moss Kanter
