If We Only Have Love....
These Forget-me-nots are posted with thanks to Marie Jestin, who replied to my comment that Monday was Memorial Day in the US: "Never forget!!!!! no war --Freedom!"
That brought to mind these words from "If We Only Have Love" by Jacques Brel:
"If we only have love
We can melt all the guns
And then give the new world
To our daughters and sons..."
I believe that fear and hatred of the "other," a stubborn insistence on seeing differences instead of commonality, underlie all wars, even those that seem spurred by economics. Will you join me in imagining a world where we only have love? Where we see "me" instead of "not-me"?
