Love Awaits

Gently, the breeze as the tempest awaits the Divinities and the fates prophecy says the future instead and the hearts and the head feel, think, want blinded, subjected, daunt the day the way the fey the may to quote Thor, "I say thee, nay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "I wanna be me! thee? we? to be? or not? gently, we move and have our being in the eye of God above love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love gently, Love between me, and we you and me and nothing else gently, the breeze as the tempest awaits the hate. fate. gently Love Awaits ( the world is fallen, but still worthy of Gods Love, as are we. i just read the Rev. Desmond Tutu, of Capetown writing about a word, or concept in his culture known as "ubuntu", which is defined as "me, we" the interelatedness of all poeple, respect for others, our dependance on each other, for even ourselves to be "human", the bad guys need us to teach them love, forgiveness, and respect, by showing them. And then, eventually, however many generations later, they may be worthy of it, and their own. The reference was to Aparteid(?) in South Africa, but has meaning in all human relationships. my bible says "Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord." I can forgive. and love, or at least be willing to, and have respect for all people who haven't effed me over "yet", and then i can forgive, i suppose. Only if i am "me". is "ubuntu" possible. i also read a poet on this site write that Jesus was murdered on that cross because of FEAR of the power of His love. never really thought about that before, but God is love, and that is the true basis of power, of strength, of society, civilization, family, governments( if they're any good), and all the things that make anybody or thing great, and a good idea, or enjoyable, or worth our time. deep thoughts, scary even, but i am not scared of love, or Love! ubuntu wasn't a reference to something dangerous, only respectable, and respecting. This is a fallen world. mostly, all the wrong things are respected, in my humble opinion. love, love, love, love, love, love, love, and then there's Love! hate? poor insipid little thing. dooooooooooommmmmmmmmmeeeed! i so try not to. some people don't make it to easy, though. ubuntu, ubuntu,ubuntu, ubuntu,ubuntu, ubuntu, ubunutu i have a dream, ! with apologies to the Rev, Martin Luther King Jr., i aint a plagerist either!
