There are some in close proximity to my home that the neighbors call "low lives" due to their severe addiction and social problems. These folks are not so poor as you might think, some own their own homes and have kids too, but the name got stuck on them because of the history of drug and alcohol abuse in their side of the neighborhood. Most of the others who can "hold thier liqure" look down on these folks and even with contempt at times, even though most of them work for local businesses(be it as it may part time or as sober as they can show up). I have however, seen these low lives help others in need, go out of their way to be clean and proud of their home and good hearts too! But what really gets me is that the one's calling them low lives are not so high and mighty themselves when it comes to addictions and family disfunctionalities. Be careful who you look down upon my child, because but for the GRACE OF GOD there goes you! We all have our crosses to bear and all are deserving of HONOR!
LEGACY OF A JOURNEY
LOOK WHO IS? Salaam(peace children); What does the sparrow say to Spring in the air? when will my children see unity in face of all separateness? When the time is right, only then will the true seeker see, even with the same eyes which hitherto were unable to do so. Ripen apples fall freely from the tree no reason to hold on to the old life once I was an unripen fruit once I had visions of grandeur and magnificence! Ahhh....how fools rush in where wise men will not enter. Be ever so like the river flowing, not clinging free from the form free from the pain forms contain always seeking the WAY HOME! From morning until night fall that is all THAT IS ALL ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY
