Being a Jersey Girl, the beach has always been important to me so when I saw this photo on FaceBook, I copied and pasted it here. I wish I knew who the photographer was so I could give proper credit, but I don’t. So thank you whomever you are!
We are in strange times here, aren’t we? The laws (rules) keep changing so I’m never sure where we stand. I guess that’s what the pandemic has started. It’s made a lot uncertain in the world. It’s brought fear, escalated emotions and a wide political divide. But I’m not here to talk about that because that’s not what my blog is about as you know.
Instead, I want to go back in history and remember how our country was founded and the unity that breaking off from England to establish the USA resulted in a firm foundation. I wish that unity again for all of us. I wish we could see eachother as the same, yet different. To be united as human citizens of our country and to celebrate what each person has to offer. Because we all have goodness to offer and talents to share.
I’m reminded of hearing how we all bleed the same color and when we die, we all turn to the same dust. What if we could remember that? That yes, our skin may be different shades, our backgrounds and childhoods may vary, our socio-economic levels may not be the same, but…what is the same? We are all humans on this planet who need the same things – food, shelter, clothing, air, water and love.
Love is what brings us together. Love heals. Love unites. Love is a universal human emotion that grows when shared. We can exponentially expand love without lessening it. Love is essential.
I wish you love today and always. Keep shining your heart lights dear friends!
Shine On!
