To The people Who I Love ...

You are unique As I know .
No one can bring into being the thoughts, the beliefs,

        the love, and the sharing that you can.

        Know who you are and follow the path that allows for

        the expression of life that can only come from within You  

        You can change the world.
        You have at your command a vast array of talents,

perhaps as yet undiscovered,

ready to create that which you wish.
Look for what makes your heart quiver.
Look to make it better.

You feel that empathy because within you there is a knowledge .

                that reaches out from the depths of your soul,

answers struggling to be brought forth.

Listen.
Joy will invade you as you give free rein to that which is you

and that which is highest and most noble.

Look to bring that joy to where joy is not.

Some people live within the darkness of their thoughts,

not knowing other realities are possible.
Love is everywhere, everything.

You need not search for it, simply recognize it.

The perfection of a drift of clouds,
the softness of a child’s hand holding yours,
       
a thirst-quenching drink of water, 
        
the beauty of an old woman's face,
        
the majesty of an oak tree --
They are all saying, "I love you" in their own way.

Let love overwhelm you.
Express love in all you do

        from the humblest task to your highest aspiration.

        Imagine a world where everyone did the same.
