In these troubled times, all we can do is stick together.
We can only subdue hate with love, darkness with light. The moment we give up is the moment all hope fails. Fighting amongst ourselves when our true enemies remain in power is what will destroy us all.

Stick together, walk together, fight together. If you don't fight for your own rights, then who will?

The moment we give into that fear that everything could end... that's the moment that it becomes true.

6. 'School kids'?
Can you imagine what it must be like to watch your mother fix your lunch for you to take to school?

Never knowing if you will make it back Home to a Home that may not be there?

7. It's a scary thought...
It makes you wonder what happens after life... If we do get reincarnated... what will be there? Hot rocks? Cockroaches?

13. Scares the Hell out of me...
Edited on Fri Jul-14-06 02:49 AM by TomInTib
I am so afraid of coming back and looking smack-dab into the mirror of my fealties, misdeeds and fears.

Maybe I will just come back as a Golden Retriever - to love and be loved by everyone, all the time..

Leave this cold, hard shell behind.

18. Ahhh... the poor insturment...
You have to lube it up so the slide can get into the right positions for the perfect tune. And that tune only lasts so long.

:rofl:

28. Yes
There is only Fear and Love, as it says in "A Course in Miracles". Fear is like a shadow; it can look very large and scary, but when light is shined upon it, it disappears. Hang onto your brothers and sisters, use your practices to stay grounded, and we will get through this.

41. They are so far ahead of where I was
