Post #6

Today was a good day, I received a $300 check in the mail, Federal Express delivered a brand-new 19 in. monitor for my computer and I got to spend some time with my family and friends. I especially love the seven-year-old and a three-year-old we had long talks about many things and we all learned a lot. I felt such love for them that it carried on down with me all the way to the city market where it seemed like all the couples had babies and everybody was happy.
Do you think that if every day was like that, we would just take the love for granted, and it would lose something? As I ponder the question, I come to an opposite conclusion, in fact if every day was like that we would grow in light and love and joy until it would be almost impossible for anything bad to happen.
I have seen days that were so bad they have been etched for ever into my memory, the sight of a mother kneeling on the ground weeping over the bloody body of her dead infant baby, a young girl, maybe 12 unconscious and bleeding in my arms, and I have had bad dreams.
Every day now the war pictures coming from Iraq, can you have good day, when you see pictures like that? No, I didn't see any of those pictures this morning, maybe that's why the day went well.
The older I grow the greater grows my detestation for war and for those who make it and profit from it.
