Beloveds,
In these days of harmonic dissonance,
we must be careful of what we say
and what we do.
Our sometimes venomous ideas
and violent arguments may backfire.
What may happen is this---the very people
we believe we despise today,
our daughters and sons will love tomorrow.
There is a strong possibility
that in their love
they will betray our hate
and marry those
we thought were our enemies.
Our children will have children
that we will learn to love
because some part of them is US.
And then there will be no enemy.
If this is so,
then isn't far easier to begin today
to offer others the love and compassion
we seek for ourselves?
Isn't this the way to experience
a vivid peace with hope
and true joy in our lifetimes?
What will You choose for your future?
To live alone with hate
or to be nurtured with loving respect
by your children and grandchildren?
I choose love!---miss mellie rainbow

What the future holds
Melony McGant, poet, storyteller, humanist and world lover of children lives on HOPE; works to breathe in love, and exhales fear (false expectations appearing real).
She says "Perhaps our current challenges are wake-up calls for our collective awakening to truth."
And she believes that the truth is, there is no need for our constant bickering, our disdain for eachother, for wars and killing, for world hunger, massive disease, for discrimination, subjugation, or oppression.
She maintains that LOVE, even on a rainy day, is the answer to our dreams, our individual quests, and our future collective identity. "If we can learn to value our children, our elders, ourselves, and our Mother EarthHeart, then surely we have the power to impact society and to create a world filled with JOY."
