Guest guest Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 COSMIC COINCIDENCE Motes of dust, dance afloat, in sunshine's beam, Each emblematic of some galactic world. That dazzling light is like Brahman Supreme, Impersonal: the whole Earth's impearled, Yet personal, each ray 's sent to you to suit; A benediction direct, from the Solar Absolute.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Loose seriousness for a while Maybe it is to relax and have a cup of tea... Why God Made Friends God made the world with a heartful of love, Then He looked down from Heaven above, And saw that we all need a helping hand, Someone to share with, who’ll understand. He made special people to see us through The glad times and the sad times, too; A person on whom we can always depend, Someone we can call a friend. God made friends so we’ll carry a part Of His perfect love in all our hearts —Jill Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
