A Spring Note from Miss Mellie Rainbow...

Celebrate Global Love Day May 1, 2008
with me at Hue-man Bookstore in NYC from 3pm -5pm

My Beloveds,
Angels sang to me this morning and awakened me from a lovely slumber.
Today I pray for each beautiful sentient being throughout the Universe.
I visualize us enveloped in a world of peace, with equanimity, and joy.

Still, my heart cries at our need for violence,

at our rationale for killing, at our thoughts of the inevitability of war,

and economic collapse.

Painfully I address the lack of opportunity,

literacy and safety for those in the United States ,

and extend my thoughts globally.

There is no reason or need for poverty of mind, body or spirit
---other than the desire for a few to have MORE.

More money, more land, more stocks, more fun in the Alps ---MORE.

Though I am grateful for each of my blessings,
today I too am asking for MORE.

My more is in direct relation to a desire for equity for all people,
the sustainability of our Earth, and the healing of all disease.

My more is hope, joy, compassion, and understanding.
My more is a world filled with conscience intention and love.
My more is a request to ask that we honor our seniors,

share them with our precious children

and provide them with the best of ourselves.

MORE. My more is a dream of humility,

respect and diplomacy as we learn to interact with eachother heart to heart.

MORE. My more is for us to vision and create

a world of cooperation where we allow others

the dignity of returning to their homelands

instead of creating political obstacles to peace.

Yes today my heart sings a melody of more

---more understanding, more compassion,

more willingness to share the fruits of our labor.
I believe our potential of greatness.

I believe in a society that says right NOW

---let’s redefine our commitment to eachother.

Please, let us remember the voice of the Great Spirit.
Let us ask more of ourselves as we meet eachother in Grace,
and walk side by side, heart to heart.

Let us have more listening, more kindness,

more truth, more hope and more faith

as we embrace the Divine in each of us.
This Is My Request of MORE!

Rev.Melony McGant aka Miss Mellie Rainbow

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."
