Walking away is not an option... dialogue must prevail.

"A good listener tries to understand what the other person is saying. In the end he may disagree sharply, but because he disagrees, he wants to know exactly what it is he is disagreeing with."

Dona Nobis Pacem - Change and Love



When this blog was started some months ago, I was making a fresh start. Leaving pain behind and carrying love and peace with me in my heart.

Over the past months, I've continued old friendships and made new ones.

I continue my journey towards love and home.

In that spirit, I repost my globe from this past June... my path is clear and remains the same.

Over the last few days we have seen some impressive rejoicing from people of all races and creeds, from all over the world as Americans have made a choice... a choice in the hopes that a change would come.

"I'd like to say, that people, people can change anything they want to.
And that means everything in the world.
Show me any country and there'll be people in it.
It's time to take the humanity back into the center of the ring and follow that for time. You know, think on that...
Without people ..... we are nothing."
-Joe Strummer




"The Future is Unwritten."
- Joe Strummer

While pregnant with my Sunshine, I listened to Bob Marley and The Wailers... a lot. And I remember dancing the belly around to this song.

One Love.




Love...

So as you go about your day, love your brothers and sisters, smile... A random act of kindness is enough to set off a chain reaction.
