The Blessing of Oneness

Where beginnings are synonomous with ends
Enemies are greeted as friends
Peace and harmony reign throughout the world
The ying and the yang are the boy and the girl

Where birth precedes death and death precedes birth
Love is the center of the universe
All of humanity is an organization of one
When one existence we leave into another we come

Where in the light of the night and the darkness of day
We all help each other in finding our way
Our differences are what makes all of us the same
Acquiring material wealth is no longer the game

This is our heaven right here on the earth
This is what gives our existence its worth
This is the nirvana we've all heard about
"Praise be to God", are the words we should shout

We seem to get caught up in the materialism and sometimes forget what is really important. This puts much of it into perspective. God Bless. Vince

Indeed, love is the center of the universe. Having faith helps us cope with the challenges that come our way. We've missed you, Joe. I just saw your blog and am sorry about your father. Hang in there, life will improve. I'm battling health issues, so let's pray for each other, okay? Love you, Carolyn
