Live and Let Live, Right Now

Of course it would be great if there were PEACE all over the world
and everyone loved one another but there is want and poverty
everywhere and the world is full of evil people.
To me there has been a battle from the beginning of time
that it will likely last forever.
But forever may never come, so I never give up hope.

***

I do wonder sometimes, where in this world resides the wild creative revolutionary who at this very moment is concocting the winning formula
for “world peace,” and shouts out hey, ‘we have it, live and let live.’

Why can’t it be so easy?

World War II opened my heart more than it closed it.
I pray that forever ends sooner than later.
Meanwhile, let us learn to ‘live and let live,’ right now.

      ‘live and let live’ … hear, hear!
      Blessings that WW11 opened your heart Dear Warren… Your message is powerfully felt, and your loving influence has created a ‘wild, creative revolutionary’ … helping the world within us, be at peace. Well done all round!
      Love and Admiration :-)

      As a photographer who observes the world,
      as a student of language who romances sound and
      as a bonsai artist who cultivates patience and form…
      it is clear that focus and elegance are sytemic energies in your life: no wonder Alan came to earth through you.
      Live and let live; and thank you Warren for Alan and
      for you.
      Blessings on your heart.
