I hear whispers in the wind. Whispers internal and from those I care about..here, there and everywhere.
I ponder about how when we open to love, fear flushes up.
Passion ignites pain as its counter. With every opening we find reason to slam the door tight.

much he DID do, and I told him this. This man cries each and every time he leaves our house, yet that will not stop him from coming. He knows he will leave upset, yet his fear... and support, love and prayers - always just when I need it the most.

Hatred can also

change through love and peace. The examples we see in day to day life to affect change demonstrate that we must scare those whom we wish to change, that is, we must instill fear... of civilization that does not use fear as a motivator.

Why is it often so difficult for us to change one habit, let alone, dare I say re-invent ones self. Fear is the bottom line answer to that question; we fearRead on »

Here's one very cool and low-budget video from the United Kingdom. It's called "Embrace Life," and it's poetry in slow motion, advocating safety and seat belts -- not a very sexy subject -- but a necessary one.
