To Love the World and Suffer With It Freely
November 4th, 2006
I sing to you of freedom my friend
It begins with the heart
when you wish to soar beyond your suffering
this is the freedom you long for
when you shed your tears that angels treasure
this is your freedom, my friend
when you laugh with your friend from the bottom of your soul
this is the freedom you seek
And when you embrace the other as you
and forget all that separates one from the other:
my culture, my beliefs my country, my family
when you move beyond these differences,
my friend liberation lives in the palm of your hand
and you love the world and suffer with it freely.

Everyone can be our friend, all the world can be friendly, freedom surely is in the ability to feel friendship with everyone and everything. CArry on, penelope!
human dignity is a precious thing, if only the rest of the world shared your beautiful sentiments…
Thank you for “To Love the World and Suffer with it Freely”. Reading it released my spirit to soar up, with your words, to the heights from which true freedom is visible at last.
to soar beyond suffering, through both laughter and tears…Penelope your words are a gift of beauty and liberation…my gratitude goes out to you. Thank you.
