Tomorrow Be Today ~ In Its Own Illuminating Way

Nothing that is can pause or stay; 

The moon will wax, the moon will wane, 

The mist and cloud will turn to rain, 

The rain to mist and cloud again, 

Tomorrow be today. 

-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 

Choose Peace It's Illuminating...

Illuminate Your Life With Kindness

Our Illuminating Sun...

Autumn leaves desperately

Holding fast to that last

Bit of illumination from 

The rays of the sun.

They fall, wither, and fade

Until the awakening of Spring

And the sun's illumination

Calls forth that first bud

When life begins anew.

A Prayer For The World

A Prayer for the World

 by Rabbi Harold Kushner

Let the rain come and wash away

the ancient grudges, the bitter hatreds

held and nurtured over generations.

Let the rain wash away the memory

of the hurt, the neglect.

Then let the sun come out and

fill the sky with rainbows.

Let the warmth of the sun heal us

wherever we are broken.

Let it burn away the fog so that

we can see each other clearly.

So that we can see beyond labels,

beyond accents, gender or skin color.

Let the warmth and brightness

of the sun melt our selfishness.

So that we can share the joys and

feel the sorrows of our neighbors.

And let the light of the sun

be so strong that we will see all

people as our neighbors.

Let the earth, nourished by rain,

bring forth flowers

to surround us with beauty.

And let the mountains teach our hearts

to reach upward to heaven.
