Beloveds,
In life we may be asked to be-friend
both a fool and a wise one.
The fool will smile and charm us,
take our gifts, ask for more, break their word,
and soon leave to find others to manipulate.
Be always kind.
A wise one asks for nothing, shares
whatever they have
and vows eternal friendship.
Be grateful to the fool
for they have served as a teacher
and you have learned who NOT to become.
Pray for them.
To the wise one, offer friendship,
pray together and begin to build
a universal community of good
with a loving foundation.
Are you a fool or a wise one?

Being Wise
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."
