We all have T H A T idea, don’t we?
We all know what LOVE IS
We all know what LOVE ISN’T
We all know what LOVE HAS
We all know what LOVE HASN’T
We all know what LOVE DOES
We all know what LOVE DOESN’T. . .
For US. . .no. . .
FOR ME!
I had a hypothesis WE would have a different view of this short little film clip on
DIVERSITY and INCLUSION.
I wasn’t disappointed. . .
but I was really hoping I was.
I showed it to several different groups over the past few weeks: Discussion groups, hospice groups, church groups, older generational groups, a group of teenagers, a bereavement group, a host of individuals, and several close friends and family members.
The Verdict?
NOT Unanimous.
The
S T I C K I N G
point?
It wasn’t LOVE HAS NO RACE. . .
It wasn’t LOVE HAS NO DISABILITIES. . .
It wasn’t LOVE HAS NO AGE. . .
It wasn’t LOVE HAS NO RELIGION. . .
It wasn’t LOVE HAS NO LABELS. . .
Love, apparently DOES KNOW Gender.
QUESTION: is love the greatest force in and out of this world?
ANSWER:
Psssssst: it’s just a
YES
NO
answer.
Not an:
UNLESS
EXCEPT
BUT
AND
IF
OR
ANSWER. . . .
Love AGREES to DISAGREE so this isn’t a Blistering Commentary for those who don’t go along with my
feelings
thoughts
perspectives
beliefs
theory
hypothesis. . . .
It’s an invitation to share
It’s an invitation to imagine
It’s an invitation to reach out and be reached out to
It’s an invitation to LOVE
ESPECIALLY if it’s NOT in Agreement
with definition or without
to make the
GRAY
a little more of a blinding
White
that makes us all squint in amazement
always to see a little better…maybe never in the same way
BUT ALWAYS IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
Join me, Love.
So, what you are saying is we have come along way and are soooo close to a unamous vote! Let’s take measure and joy in how far we have come.
…and how very far we’ve yet to go…when it comes to ACCEPTING/LOVE. . .if any group is left out, we’re all OUT! I’m unreasonably greedy when it comes to this; want IT ALL because it is NOTHING unless it is UNANIMOUS! Pssssst….just MY opinion; I’m still in to AGREEING TO DISAGREE especially if it sparks CONVERSATION!
I LOVE this! Beautiful. Bonnie
