Missing You
20×16″ Acrylic on canvas panel
I posted this before when I was thinking of the war in Ukraine. But with recent events in the middle east I wanted to repost it since it very much applies there as well.
“No one is born hating another person… People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” – Nelson Mandela
The greatness of a man is measured by the way he treats the little man. Compassion for the weak is a sign of greatness.
Myles Munroe
And God said, Love your enemy, & I obeyed Him & loved myself.
Khalil Gibran

In separateness lies the world’s great misery, in compassion lies the world’s true strength.
The Buddha
“When we feel love and kindness towards others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it also helps us to develop inner happiness and peace.”
The Dalai Lama

When I hear “all you need is love” I both nod my head in agreement and cringe. Because at the end of the day, it’s all love. But until then, there’s a lot of not-love to navigate, endure, wade through and suffer.
But at the end of the day… what does that phrase even mean? It’s often definitely not all you need in the span of a human lifetime. The end of the day (speaking metaphysically now) could be centuries, millenia or unimaginable eons.
Kind of depends on your world view. Is this life all there is, or is there some sort of eternal and continuous consciousness? If the former, it might be a nice ideal, but just a pollyanna meaningless or even offensive phrase. If the latter, well… we still have to get through this life don’t we? And how we apply that can make all the difference.
In this life.
