Spinning Prayer Wheel

(Spin)

And I will spread this like wildfire
with love and seflessness,
I will make hot the world.

(Spin)

To not broaden your heart's landscape 
is to not see all of suffering. 
Without this ability we are hopeless in our thinking 
that we are alone in our suffering.

(Spin)

In the mist of struggle
I cannot breathe without writing something.

(Spin)

Wow Matt! Send on the spinning wheel of prayer.... a daily event for love and world peace. Great idea!!! I love this poem. Love, Dane >>>> PS. The light bulb is on!!! Here's an idea for you... Find a game company that will make your game a real game for world peace. Design it first. Maybe the United Nations could help you get it marketed. If you need art, maybe I can help. Take a peek, if you wish. http://daneann.freehost10.com/ (Sent with MUCH LOVE AND HOPEFULNESS.) Do it-
