No song better than "Good Lovin'"


Daily, we all go through life. We meet, greet, and interact with all we contact. Sometimes I find contact fleeting; you just glance at someone, brush a shoulder. A firey glance could ignite a argument, perhaps in some circles even get you hurt or killed. On the flip-side of that 45, a caring, comfort filled expression might just make someones day. Maybe even stop them from something terrible. What a gift every day can be.

They present opportunities to associate with other humans/animals/nature. We can seemingly create beauty in each step. Each contact. I wonder if that kind of thought pattern reaches all?

Does the hatred of thousands of years stand a chance against a single warm touch?

Hmm.

Wonder if it does.

A single solitary star in the sky; that first glimmer as the sun sets. No way the most hate filled mongrel can not look at that sight an NOT feel awe. But they do. Why? That is because I truly believe they are not looking. Not looking because the minds they own are so polluted with hate, propaganda.

If they would only look.

I wonder if the Generals of all the wars combined see the death stare of those young sacrificed? The silent places they rest now, are filled with closed eyes that no longer see the beauty that was always there.

That beauty can save.

What if those Generals looked deeper? What if they saw the grace in this world? What if they let that guide the conflict?

Grace dont do war.

Looking into the oceans blue greens this morning, I saw a reflection.

It taunted me -

Maybe to taunt in a good way, maybe to awaken.

Maybe to shame.

Maybe to inspire, to fan a flame so to speak.

There is so much to do, so much to enjoy, so much to FEEL.

Just trying to do it better.

Aloha Sunday.
