Of things unseen where magic dwells, where faeries dance with sprites and elves! Dragon trails!

Saw this text posted with a beautiful photograph at a friends' photo website.
 The sentiment was so very pure and true and simple;

"Ye are the flowers of one garden,
the fruits of one tree,
the leaves of one branch..."
-Baha'ullah

Baha'ullah is the founder of the Baha'i faith and many of his writings are thought provoking. And of course, this does mention a garden so it has special meaning to me!
I'm not personally Baha'i but one thing I have liked about the faith, based on what I experienced with Bahia's I have known is the way the ones I knew seemed to love to see unity among peoples of all faiths, one of the few religions that suggest this is even desirable.

Given the Pope's current predicament I begin to wonder when these poor examples in communication can end? When can we move beyond these separating and divisive attitudes - regardless of where they're coming from - on all sides of the argument - and start dealing with each other like the sensible and creative and flexible people we are?  All of us - every single human being - are responsible to get that wave of nurturing and gratitude growing - for the better of all!

In a world where people are sincerely encouraged and empowered to participate together, to co-operate, to co-create, there would naturally be far less discord among people, neighbors, government or business if we could operate with that in mind. It would only be natural for people to get along, it seems to me!

wow! It's almost a scary thought when one starts to see where the discord comes from in the first place!
