...oh yes my friends...I've got another one... I think this one is even more scrambled then the last...lol... Well...enjoy. Do tell me what you think...
Can we find light? Love? Peace? What are the paths to these things? Is it a matter of them coming because we want them, or do we have to do something about it? To tell you the true, I do want these things…could you give me one good reason why I shouldn’t? Seriously. But of course when I say peace and love, the hippies come to mind.
Free love. People often misunderstand the term. They think that it means having sex with whomever, whenever. It doesn’t. Not at all. If you thought that, let me clarify for you. Sex is a sense pleasure; you mostly do it, unless looking to get pregnant, for sensual enjoyment, correct? Yes, I could see where there is love in that…but that is not the type of love that I’m talking about. Love is so much more than that. It’s even beyond relationships, boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands, and wives. Free love is how we love humanity. If you love all, you can have all. It was George Harrison who put it best in the Beatles song “Within You, Without You”: “With our love we could save the world, if they only knew…”. Can love save the world? Yes. It can. It has to. Why? There is no power stronger…and it is power. Love is not palpable. We think we know what love it, but I have a feeling that it is more than we can ever imagine it to be. People complain that they have lost love, that they aren’t loved…but they don’t realize love is always there. Love is beyond all things. It is beyond birth, illness, old age, and death. You have to embrace it, and as idealistic as it sounds, I think that if every person in this world embraced love beyond ego, beyond pettiness, beyond any want of material possessions, then there would be peace.
I know you think this is hard; how can we love someone who may have hurt us? That’s a very hard thing to do…and that’s what we need to get past. I, myself, am not perfect. I have a few hurt feelings to get over. So, how can I give advice? I don’t always practice what I am preaching…but I try. I do try as hard as I can. And if we all tried a little bit harder to love one another…then we’re one the road to peace. Forget egos, forget wealth, in the end we are all humans. We came in this world with nothing and we’ll leave it with the same, over and over again…
So what is the point of this whole ramble? Plain and simple: love one another. Don’t think about it, just do it. Forget society and the instant labels of homosexuality if you tell a friend, “I love you.” Do it. Do it as often as you can. Spread the word, love. I don’t care what anyone says, I believe that love is what’s going to get us through this all. I just have a feeling that that’s what it is.
