Love and Hate

Much has happened this last week of cultural importance and is extended onto this week with a lot of cultural and personal importance….

The devastating Tornadoes hit our State and surrounding States…with lots of loved ones lost in the natural disaster

I finished my last Physics test this morning…still waiting on the results but feelings of impending doom is looming on the horizon

My final is Friday at 8am.

I work my last shift at Anthropologie Wednesday

I have a huge gas bubble under my left rib that showed up on my chest x-ray. Yes it hurts and yes I have terrible gas. Be forewarned!

Osama Bin Ladin was killed yesterday (supposedly)

I loved what my friend, Jason Armstrong, posted on his facebook page….

“Osama bin Laden already buried at sea? Yeah right. The government would never lie about this, would it? I'd say there's a 50% chance bin Laden is sitting in Malibu eating ice cream right now.”

But I really liked when Jason quoted Martin Luther King, Jr….

I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” —Martin Luther King, Jr.

 Because that, my friends, nails it on the head for me.

Yes, we supposedly killed the man who was in charge of 911 and I can not say that I am sad he is dead. But, his ideology is still very much alive and are we not aligning ourselves with his ideology by celebrating and rejoicing over his death?!?!

Let’s be the change we want to see in the world.

Let’s drive out hate with love!

Thank you Jason for posting that!

My intention this week will focus on the healing energies of my mind and body—and how they may radiate forth and emanate goodness, love, and compassion to all who cross my path. And to those who are in mourning and  in pain.

May God continue to bless America.
