Nothing You Can See That Can't Be Shown

The ghastly, worldly take on Easter, full of ugly pastel colors and waxy chocolate, diminishes a beautiful message of hope and new life. I love the delight it brings to my children and the day that it has become for me - time spent with them. But the commecialization is a sticky mess and I freely admit, I sometimes, get caught in it.

Religion is a touchy subject for many and not a good argument to incite. Family, religion and politics are never a good combination. Trust me. Believe me. I was raised in very strict, religious home and I am truly thankful for my upbringing. Being the gregarious, some-what wild individual that I am, without the base that was instilled in me from birth, I may have been in some serious trouble throughout my youth and most of my adulthood. I am also very thankful for the teachers, professsors, mentors, and friends that have exposed me to other views and opened my mind to the possibility that there may be more to believe and embrace than what I was initially taught.

It all comes down to one word - not charity, not faith and more than hope...

LOVE. True, unconditional love and what we would sacrifice for it. To feel blessed for the giving and receiving of that love is to recoginize the source.
No arguments or disgruntled feelings are worth the diminishing feelings they incite.

Most good things can be boiled (like an Easter egg) down to a Beatles song...

Love, love, love.
There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done.
Nothing you can sing that can’t be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It’s easy.
There’s nothing you can make that can’t be made.
No one you can save that can’t be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be in time
It’s easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
There’s nothing you can know that isn’t known.
Nothing you can see that isn’t shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be.
It’s easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
All you need is love (all together now)
All you need is love (everybody)
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.


Care because you can - tomorrow may be different.  And what happens if it is; 
what would you do?  Do not languish in sorrow but leap in the joy found in
the eyes of a child or the person you love. 

There is no greater light that streams from above.
