“The Light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness

apprehended it not.”

—The Bible, ASV: John 1:5

I made an intent

To myself

It came from Spirit

From my soul

I do not watch

The news

Do not hear

Do not see

Violence

Rained upon

Innocents

Blood spilled from

Those

Who have done no harm

To anyone

 

But an email

Creeps onto my screen

I read it before

Realizing its contents

My bewilderment turns to

Sadness

Bleeds through my

Veins

Into the core of my

Heart

 

From where I am

Today

I no longer ask

Why     Why

Does it keep happening

I no longer

Wonder

How a human being

Can inflict harm

Take life

From a fellow being

Even a child

 

I have no answers

Never did

I have no power

To stop these acts

But in faith

I ask

Can you love

Enough

Deep enough     strongly

Enough

To send your love

To everyone     everywhere

In our world

No matter who they

Are

Can we try

Can you     can I

 

“Love is the answer

To every question” *

 

Love     Love     Loving

For me

Our Path to Peace

 

*A Course in Miracles
