Imagine a world

Imagine for a moment, a world without violence, without hatred

Can you imagine such a world?

A world free from revenge, free from backstabbing, free from deceit

A world where jealousy is overshadowed by compassion and tempers neutralized by kindness 

Could this world even be a possibility?

When hatred is felt, walls are formed that preparations for a counter attack be hidden

Devious, vicious attacks beget further lies coupled with hostile motives

Doing the wrong thing for the right reason can further resentment, distrust and pain

As a human people, our rejection of pain is not comfort rather infliction of pain on another

Where has the love gone?

Why has compassion been replaced with indifference?

Indifference is not who we are

Complacency is not what we breed

At the very core of our being we are love

Hidden behind thick walls, love breathes

In the darkest of human times, Christ epitomized love

Our Savior, our model and yet we model the action of the Pharisees

Moving with distain in our hearts and revenge on our minds

We act as a people dependent upon the ego

Prideful at best

Agendas scripted without intent to know

Blindly we walk 

Irreverently we run

Contemplatively we speak

Without concern for our neighbor

Without concern for the wants of our soul

Fanatically we act as if a Zealot rallying against their own people 

We ridicule those who seek peace, those who act with compassion, those who model Christ's actions for the ego has made us blind

We see only that which the ego projects yet the heart speaks of such lies

With a voice of criticism, we self alienate 

Without the threat of another, we become glorified monarchs in our own right

Yet for what?

See we not created as communal beings?

Are we not at our best when supported in love?

We have imagined a world without hatred, lies, and violence

No imagine a world, not lacking, but rather a world with love, with peace, with hope, with God

It is not that God has left us, rather we have hidden God

Hidden Him in the shadows that He may not see our actions

Hidden Him in the fortresses erected for safety purposes

God weeps for He is not hidden, He sees all and He weeps

Weeps for His people who have lost their way for on the paths they have built bunkers 

God weeps for He knows the sadness and pain of humanity

He knows that what we imagine can become a reality, an active reality

Why is it we are active in hatred yet passive in love?

Hence God weeps

Active love need not be aggressive 

Active love need only be unconditional

No stipulations, no contingencies just love

Love that knows truth while compassionately acts upon understanding 

Not only is this imagined world a possibility, it is a probability

We need only look within and become love

We need not become activist, ranting and proclaiming what others need to do

We need only love

Become love, live love, act with compassion 

Love humbly in love

Actions speak louder than words

What better action to promote than love?

Humanity suffers under the wrath of conformity and complacency under the guise of entitlement

However, if all the world learned to love without conditions, humility would drive our actions

And God would no longer weep

Imagine for a moment, a world without violence, without hatred

If you can imagine such a world, you have already tapped into love

Tap a bit further...feel...see..hear

Love is the core of your being

Love is your connection to the Father, your connection to self

Be the love, be the compassion, be the hope the world desperately needs

Let your imagination be manifested in love

Christ be the model

The Spirit be the guide

And the Father be the love sown with compassion humbly acted without condition upon a world drowning in its own vanity

Love be the voice of an imagination clarified by humility
