Every thought you have
brings either peace or war;
either love or fear…… I have no neutral thoughts
Gifts
from a Course on Miracles, Vaughn & Walsh, Eds.

I do not choose the world I live it
it has a life of its own
I cannot deny the beauty
of mountains and trees
winding waters
the poignant beauty of a doe and her fawn
nor can I deny the ugliness
the hate and prejudice
the greed
ISIS exists
so too the 1%, the robber barons of our time
but I can choose how I think
I have no neutral thoughts
and I can choose to think in ways
that nurture the horror, the hate, the fear, the
anger
or I can choose to think in ways
that nurture love, and tolerance, and acceptance
and how I think
determines how I feel
and how I feel
determines how I live
how then will I choose
how then will I now live?
