No Room for Hate.

There is no room within my heart
for revenge, fire or hate
there is no room within my mind
for any thoughts like these.

I cannot find the words to say
just how it is I feel
but I know from deepest hurt
I must forgiveness find.

The hurt that’s been done to us
cuts sore like a knife,
but we must not, repay in kind
what has been done to us.

Instead we must try and find
the way that is so hard,
and reach out our loving hands
to find some friendship now.

There can be no more healing thing
than opening wide our eyes
and seeing that most other folk
are really just like us.

by David Gould
This first poem was written in memory of all those that died in 7/7 but equally applies to those who lost loved ones in other tragedies....

In loving light the hearts do shine
together we will unify
it is within our hearts and souls
the road map to a place that soars
above the hate, and hardship here
let us together uncreate the fear
and through showing love and light and care
the evolution is truly here
blessed be every man , woman and child
every rock, every creature, every drop of water
may we live anew each day we are blessed
with the hope and the energy to full fill our quest
we are flowers in bloom in a garden that needs care
be strong and beautiful and please take care.
love
heidi

SHOCK . . . here we are, DAYS into this horror, these fresh, incomprehensible atrocities against humanity - and from my 'safe' distance, still reeling with shock . . . incomprehensible . . . how must it be for you who suffer?? and still, David's prayer, 'No Room For Hate' . . . my heart, and tears, finally unfrozen, are for ALL those in pain, ALL those hurt, anguished, confused, shocked and angered by this - you are in my prayers, the vibrations of my heart and soul - and still, David's prayer, NO ROOM FOR HATE . . . if at a time like this, he can share that with us, so, too, must we not allow our hearts to be hardened and solidified into hate . . . . if there is no other lesson, this is an example we MUST allow ourselves to hear, and heed . . . in LOVE, and HOPE . . . . GIVE PEACE A CHANCE . . . . Oh YES, we CAN .

Deepak Chopra has some wise words to share in his book, Peace Is The Way. a recommended read for all.
These orchestrated 'terrorist' attacks are carried out to strike fear into the hearts of millions.
Don't let fear reach you. Like most on here already do, we must try to heal all this suffering. Put an end to war and live in peace.
Peace to all!

so many feel at wit's end. as Sting wrote/sang, "The Russians love their children too" - the same goes for Indians, people who set off bombs (I'm avoiding the word "terrorist" intentionally - I feel just now that those who feel driven to such acts must live in a situation where their life as it is feels terror-filled.), etc. etc.
This our world IS in a time of transition on every level. I trust and Know and Feel that all is well in our world. We are letting go of much to discover more. More options, as David Gould so richly expressed. Given the unexpected loss of his daughter he was given the opportunity to react along a very different paradigm than that most prevalent thus far in our world. Thank you, David, for taking this path. And for sharing your heart.

We are In Love. Always.
Peace and Joy and Hugs all around.

Peace.....When such tragedies occur, it feels a natural reaction to feel rage, violence & retribution will somehow be the answer.

Isn't that the point of such senseless violence, to incite such reactions?

Let us all continue to see the love & light in the world, amongst so much saddness & suffering.

Strength & courage will be recieved by those crying out for justice, as long as we all will it to be so!

We are not the ones that need convincing of the needlessness of this atrocity; we are the ones that condemn the violence. What WE must do is work harder to encourage more people to stand up and shout out that we are clearly indisposed to grant anything to terrorists. Where world leaders have failed, everyday people could, and should, make an effort to eradicate violence on our own doorsteps. I do believe that a large number of terrorists are psychopaths who do not share in the core beliefs of whatever cause they join; they join the cause simply because it provides twisted justification for killing.
