There’s a fabulous line up of great musicians (including Derek Trucks and Doyle Bramhall II) on the stage with Eric Clapton for this version of “Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad” from the Crossroads 2007 Benefit:
It’s the perrenial question isn’t it, when the heart gets broken.
Food For Thought… On this Valentine’s Eve, there are people asking this question… May they all be blessed with the light of love tomorrow.

Searching through some old Word docs recently I found some of my poetry that I had put into Word docs from my journals. This one called out to be shared…
Gift Of Life
Love,
Be it an expression,
A word,
A thought,
A feeling;
Used oft by some,
Not by others.
For many it be
The truth that sets,
Them free.
For some it be
The chains,
That binds them.
Love,
To my tenet,
Be my gift
Of life.
For, I am free,
To love,
You;
And, all who touch
My soul
With the clarity
That each expression,
Be my gift
Of life,
To share with joy,
And oft
Forgiveness
In my heart.
(Gift Of Life & Red Day Lily ~~ c. Pamela J. Leavey)

Food for thought from M. Scott Peck…
The religious who, of course, ascribe the origins of grace to God, believing it to be literally God’s love, have through the ages had the same difficulty locating God. There are within theology two lengthy and opposing traditions in the regard: one, the doctrine of Emanance, which holds that grace emanates down from an external God to men; the other the doctrine of Immanence, which holds that grace emanates out from the God within the center of man’s being.

A little something smooth and sophisticated tonight…
Sade performs “Nothing Can Come Between Us” Live (1988)…
I’ve always loved Sade, she’s got a style not matched by any other female singer.

“A 21st Century worldview of unity and love is emerging, but we’re constantly being drawn back to 20th Century illusions of separation and fear. With every thought we think, we chose for all humanity whether to go forward or go back.” ~~ Marianne Williamson

It’s time for some Food For Thought once again… from the great master J. Krishnamurti:
What are you?
So what are you? Apart from a name, a form, perhaps if you are lucky a bank account, perhaps a skill, apart from all that what are you? Are we not suffering? Or suffering doesn’t exist in your life. Is there fear? Is there anxiety? Greed? Envy? Worshipping some image which thought has created? Frightened of death? Clinging to some concept? A contradiction, saying one thing and doing another. So we are all that. Our habits, our inanities, the endless chatter that goes on in the mind, all that is what we are. And the content of consciousness makes consciousness, and that consciousness has been evolving through time, through tremendous experiences, pains, sorrow, anxiety, all that. Now we are asking: can one be free of all that? Free from all sense of fear. Because where there is fear there is no love.
