is that you're following your life's destiny.</div> <div> For I've my poetry to occupy me, my healing work and my numerology,</div> <div> I'm going to enrol for a reiki course early next year to help all that I see.</div> <bR> <div> My instructor lives here in the Kooralbyn Valley, so I've no great distance to go,</div> <div> To acquire the extra learning, so I can then help all of those people I know.</div> <div> As well as those who I haven't met yet for there are many who have needs,</div> <div> And sometimes all you need to help them with is to plant a few tiny seeds.</div> <bR> <div> To show them there is nothing they need in this life but to love and to give,</div> <div> For that's as our creator intended, it's the way that we are all meant to live.</div> <div> There's one simple lesson to learn on this journey, love is the opposite to fear,  </div> <div> When you realize that, then there's nothing to hold you back in your career.</div> <bR> <div> Life is to be lived to the full, so go, enjoy each and every moment of the day,</div> <div> And when it is over look back with gratitude for all that's happened on the way</div> <div> What have you learnt my friend, what challenges did you overcome and attain ?</div> <div> I'm sure that there would have been something, or is it all too hard to explain ?</div> <bR> <div> It doesn't really matter what happened as long as you gave all you were able,</div> <div> For you can then rest happily and contented and take your place at the table.</div> <div> And partake of what you have prepared, or was it all ready and waiting for you ?</div> <div> No matter, give thanks for the bounty that you have, there's naught more to do !</div> <bR> <div> <I>Submitted by Caroline</I></div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER ROWSPAN=2 COLSPAN=2 HEIGHT= 2 ><NOBR><bR> <div> <B><U>Love and Peace is the only way !</U></B></div> <bR> <div> I feel as if at last my life has started although I'm seventy-two,</div> <div> For there is just so much work that I have yet to do,</div> <div> Now that I know what my life purpose is, you may call it my destiny,</div> <div> You see there's so much work that I have to do to help set other people free.</div> <bR> <div> The task ahead will not be easy for as a rule folk are so fixed in their way,</div> <div> It doesn't matter what facts they're presented with, they simply have their say.</div> <div> They don't know the only way to make this world a better and safer place is to follow God's path,</div> <div> But do they know who their God is; do you think that I dare ask?</div> <bR> <div> Is their God forever loving and the righteous One, who discriminates not at all ?</div> <div> Between the richest in the land, the poor, the lonely and those who have naught at all.</div> <div> Or is he seen as some different God, who seeks vengeance and not peace,</div> <div> Who will not be happy until life on this earth has ceased?</div> <bR> <div> Then you'd better wake your ideas up my friend, for that's not the way it is at all,</div> <div> For ours is a loving and forgiving God who treats us the same no matter what may befall.</div> <div> He does not seek to make war, for he knows that peace is the only way,</div> <div> You see he is a loving and forgiving God, and if you choose to listen He'll show you the only way.</div> <bR> <div> Please tell me my friend; do your religious beliefs promote love or fear?</div> <div> Do you appreciate the simple difference ? Are you prepared to change gear?</div> <div> So that the world can unite to obtain a thousand years of peace,</div> <div> Would you like to see an end to war, and have all conflict cease?</div> <bR> <div> Do you believe we should do this for the sake of all humanity ?</div> <div> Do you wish your friends and family, and all the world's people to be free?</div> <div> There are enough resources you see, if we would only see the light,</div> <div> But too many flinch from it, they'd sooner pick a fight.</div> <bR> <div> As the way to solve the world's problems, do you wonder how wrong they are ?</div> <div> Or would you rather just hide your light behind a passing star ?</div> <div> Taking comfort from the fact that you don't have to spell out your thought,</div> <div> For you know only too well, that the world is not behaving as it ought.</div> <bR> <div> Think then my friend what will you do, will you saddle up and help ?</div> <div> Or will you sit there in a corner and continue to whelp?</div> <div> Like a puppy dog that's lost its mother and doesn't yet know what to do ?</div> <div> Or will you follow your true destiny and help all other people too ?</div> <bR> <div> The ball is in your court my friend; it's really up to you,</div> <div> You can ignore this message, but I know that I must ask; “Are you being true”,</div> <div> To yourself and your Creator if you stay the way that you now are,</div> <div> Or will you follow your true destiny and become a shining star ?</div> <bR> <div> To help light up the path for all who choose to follow you,</div> <div> I know that you can do it, and if you do to your own self you'll be true.</div> <div> You can rest then knowing that you have helped your fellow man,</div> <div> To see the shining light, that is our true Creator's plan</div> <bR> <div> You see love is the answer, being forgiving to everyone as well,</div> <div> No matter what their religion, or whether they worship a different God or rebel yell.</div> <div> For as long as well all share the same thought, to aim for a thousand years of peace,</div> <div> We'll start a spiritual revolution that will eventually call all war to cease!</div> <bR> <div>
