"It doesn't cost much to show love, but it costs a fortune not to.
Lack of love is the root cause of pandemonium and unrest in the world."
Olawale Daniel
On a more personal note ...
It is warm outside on the covered deck of my daughter's lovely home. I sit in my favorite outdoor rocker and feel a gentle breeze calm my thoughts. I watch neighborhood children playing with chalk and games like tag as their schools are temporarily closed. A car pulls up and the father embraces his kids and goes inside carrying his computer so he can work from home.
Neighbors on the other side have placed exercise equipment in the driveway as their local gym is closed, temporarily. I watch a husband and wife working together, clearing brush from the wooded area behind their home. Everything appears to be so peaceful as one waves to another.
Although I semi-settled into my little apartment in Nashville just weeks ago, moving from state to state, tornadoes passing through, and life in the world twisted by threats has challenged my perception of individuals, life, and the world as I know it. Due to the vulnerability of my age, my family, out of love, has encouraged me to live with them until things become stable again. Since I have had the nature of being a hermit, I am adjusting well to limitations; but I have grave concern for those who are not so fortunate. Daily I send light, love, and prayers out into the world in hopes that healing will come to all living upon Mother Earth.
Beautiful! I can sense sitting in that rocker feeling the breeze. Deeply grateful for you and for your tireless passion to post words we need to hear.
