Many angels, many angels in this world,
Yet so few aware,
Angels that speak to an ear
And ears that will not hear
Angels that try to reach a soul
Souls that have grown cold

They say people, what have you done
children are crying and dying
hungry and alone

People, what did you do?
You killed your brother,
Yet you say, he's the fool.
Don't you know, killing each other, doesn't make you right
And you can't win Gods love, by how well you fight.

And I asked an Angel, why does God let us all die?

This is what he told me...
If God stepped in and saved all the world,
from war and death and hunger and disease and poverty
and hatred and mental illness and birth defects and
natural disasters and pestilence and every other heart breaking painful strife on this planet,
Mankind would grow even more cold and unconcerned. The compassion for life and each other would grow empty.
As it is, we are already so self-absorbed that babies are dying from starvation while we worry about the price of gas for our SUV's, while eating a 60 dollar meal in our million dollar homes.
So some family member dies from an incurable disease and our pain and loss gives us the compassion to find a cure.
People are empty until they are filled with pain, and then it begins,
for, in the beginning there was darkness and God said let there be light...all light comes from darkness...

"From a letter to a friend"

"in the beginning there was darkness and God said let there be light...all light comes from darkness... "


i am again reminded of the sanskrit word "Sunyata"...essentially meaning "Emptiness, the wondrous source of all creation"
