LOVE ADDITION, SUBTRACTION, MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION

Sometimes I think if we had paid better attention to basic math it would be easier to follow our hearts…. and the Earth would be one whole… instead of broken into parts. I imagine in elementary school we could not contemplate the importance of basic math in terms of love and hate. Even now I have to wonder: as to what might be your reaction when I tell you love and hate come down to simple addition and subtraction? I draw your attention to those math lessons…the ones on basic facts… Love as a plus…adds beauty to the world Hate, as a minus…subtracts. And if I may take a moment to extend this view, this perception…this vision love and hate also relate…to multiplication…and division. Hate divides us, it tears people apart… it separates us by color, shape and size Love brings us together… it accumulates…it multiplies. Perhaps some of us should go back to school and re-learn our basic facts because until their connection to love and hate…we are all able to see The Earth will remain only a fraction… of the whole Earth she was created to be.
