 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 1John 4: 7-9

It could be so simple.  As I often think, all the problems of the world (pretty much) could be sorted but by an averagely intelligent loving 12 year old.  The solutions are obvious and possible. Food for all.  Respect, and care for all.  Liberty, fraternity and egality.  That is how it was supposed to be, back then.  A beautiful garden.  Jumping from a high rock, hand in hand,  into a pool of warm clear water.  Laughter, singing, reciting poetry into the evening.

But no, instead we chose to suffer, and alienate ourselves from our Creator.  The Creator does not change, and we can come back.  One day we believe we will be back, back there, right at the beginning.

PRAYER:  I abide in you, and as the vanity of our folly sinks into the freezing ocean, I abide with you.
