On reading “I wanna go home,” I was moved to respond about Love Within: 

Reach inside of your self. Look for the Love. It’s there. Now, let it flow throughout your body, your system. Never mind thoughts trying to intrude onto this feeling. Your love is stronger and mightier than any thought — negative or otherwise.

Just feel the compassion that Love opens to you. Start with the recall of a favorite pet, a niece or nephew, someone or something that represents to you pure and unadulterated Love.

That’s the essence of your Love, your Divine Love that lets you connect to the wonderful world inside, the world that mystics of all ages tapped into when wanting to commune with what they realized was the Higher Being, the One, the Beloved.

Or any other name you want to call that beauty of beauties in the Universe.

Now for the hard part. Forgive.

Forgive yourself. Yes, ask for the forgiveness, and you shall be granted it. But, it must be sincere. From the heart. From the depths of your soul. You know what I’m talking about. That part of you, that you thought did not exist . . . the child that still lives within, beneath the false hopes and desires that life drained from you day after day, year after year.

Resurrect that Child, that Spirit, that God within.

Do it now. Don’t wait for Easter or Passover to be over and done.

The time for new Life is now!

Let us all arise.
