As a species , we ’ ve been collectively “ parked ” in apathy and hollow excuses long enough — far too long , actually . And yet all hope is not lost …
* Even without the help of our governments , WE CAN feed the hungry and house the homeless … Even without the support of our “ leaders ”, WE CAN clean up our neighborhoods , consume half of what we currently “ need ”, and recycle the rest … And even without the law telling us to do so , WE CAN forgive those who trespass against us — and we can do so with acts of Kindness more than mumbled words .
It ’ s not too late , my Friends … We still have the power to change things , and change them powerfully . We still have the ability to choose -- It ’ s just that courageously Caring for others nearby is simply the only Good Choice that remains .
LOVE chooses to Care , and LOVE knows that our Caring has to be radically active & purely selfless in order to BE .
So … got LOVE ?

“ The only true Happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose .” ~ William Cowper
“ It is only when we truly understand that we have a limited time on earth , and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up , that we will begin to live each day to the fullest , as if it was the only one we had .” ~ Elizabeth Kuebler-Ross
