The Love You Make

                                        
I've decided to keep quiet for a while.......I hear so much talk and I don't want to be part of the constant clatter that fills all our heads incessantly.....I'm trying to listen alot more and only add to the conversation when it seems I can be a part of a positive move forth in our thoughts and actions................


I'm also trying to stop complaining......it seems that all I hear on TV and the news and from friends and acquaintances and from MYSELF is a steady moan of negativity and complaining about all the things that are wrong or not working or inadequate.  As this drone continues to grow its energy becomes stronger and a hopelessness and mild depression seems to slowly engulf the entire discussion and stop the momentum of change and growth.  So I'm trying to keep my mouth shut unless I'm offering a helping hand, a positive encouragement or an idea that brings optimism , change, and love into the discussion.............I know, some people are thinking oh LOVE......it's kind of an easy way to not really deal with all the problems facing us...........but I don't buy it.  What is Love after all but a deep caring for the welfare of another.  If I can stop my judgements and focus my words and thoughts on what is best for the welfare of my fellow humans, this living planet that nurtures us all and the creatures that we share this planet with, I think that I can be part of the solution............I hope so.........it's like Anti War activists deciding to pursue a vision of Peace instead of fighting a War against War............let's not be AGAINST anything........but let's see what we can agree on and what we can promote........after all, we all have so much more in common than we have to fight about.......so I'm just going to take a deep breath and see if I can live the vision of who I want to be in a more honest and direct way.
