Gandhi on Despair
When I despair, I remember that,
all through history,
the way of truth and love has always won
There have been tyrants and murderers,
and for a time they can seem invincible
but in the end, they always fall
Think of it. Always, they fall. Always.
--Mohandas Ghandi
Yay Scarlet Rose! Tomorrow May 1 is Global Love Day
It doesn’t interest me if there is one God
Or many gods.
I want to know if you belong or feel
Abandoned.
If you know despair or can see it in others.
I want to know if you are prepared to live in the world
With its harsh need
To change you. If you can look back
With firm eyes
Saying this is where I stand. I want to know
If you know
How to melt into that fierce heat of living
Falling toward
The center of your longing. I want to know
If you are willing
To live, day by day with the consequence of love
And the bitter
Unwanted passion of your . . . defeat.
I give thanks for unknown blessings already on the way
Henry, that works for me!!! Thanks!
We love May Day flowers.
when i was wee little, we would make paper baskets in school. then I would pick wild violets from our yard, put them in the wee paper basket, and present them to my Mom as a May Day present. She always loved them.
