Beneath the Stars I Look I Listen I Feel

I see a world different then that of traffic and noise. I dimminish the feelings of war 
and racial strife. I forget the cries of poverty and the sound of a sickly crying, hungry 
child. I obliterate the challenge of hatred and anger, the feeling that God is forgotten. For 
under the stars, I look, I listen, I feel.
          The sound of a distant cricket,the motion of moving water. The smell of freshness in 
the air. I drink the feelings of a forgotten day. I see the beauty of Gods paradise beside 
me. I sense the love put into every sound, every motion. The true meaning.
          I know that in the future, man must tune into the essence of tranquility. He must 
see and know, that his is not the last step, but the first of many toward a supreme and 
ultimate goal. One of many steps to be taken before we can find complete love and 
understanding. 
          Pureness of the heart is when we realize that we are all on in the same. As we came, 
we shall return. Know that you have loved purely and you will be given your birth. For we 
are not yet born,only loaned to serve God's purpose. Our real birth is yet to come.
          How infinate is man that he must sometimes return to lead the way from the past, 
the destruction, and the ignorance of his own making, to insure a prosperous, well 
organized future for those that may make the same mistakes without his guidence. 
          For in man, there are many life's. But he can only live them one at a time. And until 
he learns to conquer his own greed for lust and power, he shall always return. For his 
mistakes are but a stepping stone to his perfection. We have to stumble in the dark in 
order to find the light.
