The Power of Love

Love, Love, Love. May your self-centered and antagonistic feelings burn in the fires of Love. Oh, Holy Love, the wings of protection, the endless chain, the guardian of peace, refreshing shade, the eternal mother, the sleeping child, the endless ocean, the music without words, the everlasting melody...

Love one another. Love your enemies. Love the rocks, the trees, the birds, the fish, the frogs. Love the serpents, and they will not bite you. Love the wolves, and they will not devour you. Love your enemies, and they will become loving children. Raise the flag of Love, and rivalry will disappear, wars will end, envy and offenses will vanish.

God is Love. Love is mightier than death. Place Love where there is hate. Where there is offense, place forgiveness. Where there is discord place union.
