There is light

I recently wrote of the hatred and bigotry in the world and have been lost in thought since then.

We are surrounded by hatred wherever we walk within this country or world. Religions brought up to hate another sect, people or country and fight to the death, racial bigotry, wars, death and destruction. However, through all of this we have rays of hope and goodness, laughter of children and the beauty of seeing our own child born.

We have beauty at every turn and as we are discovering, we have forgiveness.

Through all of this, we prevail; we beings of humanity still walk the Earth from which we came. We are instilled with wisdom of life and lessons we have learned, we will prevail, go on.

We have the beauty of our very breath, this one gift of life which our body accomplishes for us every moment of our lives. Our lungs fill with air and when released our bodies are renewed for another moment. This is the divine, the beauty, the spark from within each and every one of us. The gift of life distilled into its purest form. This gift is inhaled into our tiny lungs at the moment of birth and exhaled as our last breath of life.

We must never forget the beauty of life and the laughter of our children and we must never forget what is within each part of humanity, this spark of life.
