I am one of the relatively new kids on the block, having joined Facebook only on August 14, 2007, but it has now become part of my daily routine, maybe too much so, but I am amazed at the FB phenomena. I have made some very dear new friends, young and old, male and female, and from different cultures through this incredible medium and do so on a daily basis.
It is truly amazing how close we all are and how much we are "ONE FAMILY" on this beautiful planet of ours. I believe that we all have a part to play, being facilitators to bring a vastly different and new experience to human interaction - in love, in camaraderie and in the knowledge that together we can make a difference in this world.
This beautiful planet we live on is going through vast changes, caused by mankind's desire to use and abuse its resources, its wildlife and the very air that we need to sustain life ~ coal power stations, large fires and deforestation, pumping billions of particles of the so-called green-house gases into our fragile atmosphere. But apart from the desire to live on a cleaner planet, one thing everyone living here must desire, is Peace... Not only the peace of mind that you will have a meal and a warm bed at night, but the inherent desire to live and let live.
Yet, we are reminded on a daily basis of the unnecessary conflicts between individuals, between groups, between factions, between countries and between religions. We are now in a fast learning curve, in that our fragile earth is being systematically destroyed by man, and man destroying man.
This has to STOP. We need to take a stand - take hands and together change the way we think. The age of Aquarius is upon us and we should live up to its expectations. In a small way we can all help. Do you really need to print a lot of paperwork? Do you really need a plastic bag for those few items on your daily shopping stop? Could you not take a brisk walk down the block to the café in stead of driving. Do you really need to kill your body with those drugs? There are so many little ways in which we all can share.
Say YES to Tolerance, Say YES to Friendship, Say YES to Love, Say YES to Peace...
Our life rests upon a single breath...
Let us all breathe each other's breaths...
Thank you for reading this, and if you feel the same, please comment...
Love

If this were my last day I'm almost sure
I'd spend it working in my garden. I
Would dig about my little plants, and try
To make them happy, so they would endure
Long after me. Then I would hide secure
Where my green arbor shades me from the sky,
And watch how bird and bee and butterfly
Came hovering to every flowery lure.
Then, as I rested, perhaps a friend or two,
Lovers of flowers would come, and we would walk
About my little garden paths and talk
Of peaceful times when all the world seemed true.
This may be my last day, for all I know;
What a temptation just to spend it so!
