🎶"When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells you, never be afraid
Then somewhere in your heart, you can feel the glow
A light to keep you warm when the night winds blow
Like it was written in the stars, I knew
My friend, my someone in the dark was you ... ."🎶
- Excerpted from the song Someone in the Dark written by the late Michael Jackson - 1982 -
A track for the audiobook and soundtrack for E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
Good People, I wish you, today, everything, anything, worthy of "authoring the answer" to any "sweet dream question" that you've ever held up to the "light of your heart," and of course, your very own "someone(s) in the dark."
As I sat in my😊 and Hiram, Arvada Haskin's impeccable park and sanctuary this morning, blanketed by the darkness, the moon serving as my night-light, and the distant rumbling of a train "on the way to somewhere," providing a magical, musical backdrop, I happened upon these thoughts:
we are, to one another's purpose, seedlings of hope and happiness ... let us also endeavor to be the sun, rain and nurturing of these same seedlings FOR one another.
No, yeah, Virginia, it is absolutely true that - interpret in YOUR way - "If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all that I possess to the poor and give my body over to hardship that I may boast, but do not love, I gain NOTHING (my upper case).
- Corinthians 13:2-3
So, my friends, let us be love and give love, organically, and in every way possible, left, right, up, down, and around, for the rest of the gift that is our lives.
I'll close with this: yesterday a woman with a newly rescued "pup," one that had been mistreated on the streets and left to fend for herself after giving birth to her own pups at a very tender age, stopped by The Bench😊
The poor baby was very, very timid, so much so that she would not take a treat from my hand. A definite example of a life denied love. She'll come around in time and with an abundance of "love bestowed," but for now her "cross to bear" is a heavy one.
Flash forward to this morning: another young lady stopped by with a fairly young and actual puppy. But this puppy, though fairly unsure, came right up to me and took her treat! The difference between the two "pups?" One had experienced no love up to just before this point, and the other hasn't known anything but love. One doesn't feel that she can trust, while the other is more than willing to "give trust a try."
What a lesson for
everyone, don't ya think🤔
Hey, even as I compose this blog there is "ugliness too much" being dispersed into the air in an attempt to batter hope senseless.
So let us lead fiercely with love, that hope might be rescued and "better" returned to its rightful place of POSSIBLE.
With a whole bunch of love and a matching set of hugs and blessings, I am, Joyce's boy and your friend, "Fast Binky"🤣
