In the face of

In the face of anger - Love
In the face of hatred - Love
In the face of Ignorance - Love

For even the deadliest snake runs out of venom sooner or later.

Love is:
Courage to keep us going,
Faith to see a goal in sight,
Compassion to accept and understand,
Strength to protect oneself and another,
Remembrance and Gratitude for the here and now,
for our yesterdays and all our tomorrows.
To think fulfilling thoughts
to speak uplifting words
to perform healing actions
Love is all these qualities and so much more.

Oh Zarathustra You inspire me,
such simplicity, such purity
but for now
just to skim the surface of Your fire is enough..
Your flames overwhelm me.
