Dear Friends:
I want to apologize for my persistent foray into the political arena every
time I try to post for peace :-) It has been a struggle for me to accept
the resistance with which I have often been received when I "cross the
line." Rather than really examine why some people would react in such a
fashion to my antiwar sentiments, I chose to consider myself correct rather
than allow myself to be corrected. In other words, I chose to muddy the line
rather than examine it as it related to my own behvior.
In my efforts to understand, I had to examine not only what I was saying but
why I was saying it the way that I did. After all, what is wrong with
reference to the legislators, I would ask myself. Anxious to please myself,
I would always find some reason to justify what I had done. "How can you
just stand by? How can you be so immune to the despair of others? How can
you be so cold?..." I would go through the litany of justifications. If
this is detachment, then I want to remain attached. The lawyer in me
prevailed, always helping me find the loophole :-)
Yet, mixed in the fabric of my self satisfaction was a new thread of
uncertainty that slowly has become the overwhelming pattern in the design
that is mine. I now Realize :-) that my efforts also call for action on the
part of others, in particular, specific political action focused in a
specific political arena. The only actions I should be trying to control
are my own! God will take care of the rest and if I want to think that I
know how to surrender then I should know how to surrender.
So, to those whom I have offended, I am sorry. To those who tolerated me
with the patience of the saints, thank you for your grace despite my getting
in your face. Forgive me for I knew not what I did :-) Now that I "think"
I do :-), below is my poem revised just for you:
Dear God, how do I love thee?
I cannot count the ways...
There is no accounting for the reasons
There is no need to account for the reasons
Thank you for your beautiful Garden
Thank you for the Grace that is always there
May you shed your Grace on me
That I will walk in humble service to Thee
We Are All Connected, Seamlessly
By the Divine Fire burning through You to me
May I follow the Light which burns in my Heart
May I shine with the Light which you Impart
May Thy Will Be Done
On Earth as It Is in Heaven
May we All walk Together in the Light of Your Love
Which falls with so much Grace from Above.
May our actions be Right
May we live in peace, filled with Thy Light
May You forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us

May the Lord protect us together,
May he nourish us together.
May we work together uniting our strength for the good of humanity.
May our learning be luminous and purposeful.
May we never hate one another
May There be Peace, Peace and Perfect Peace
EternaLove,
Lady Joyce
