| Introduction | The insights I gained from my "Peace and Harmony" picture-puzzle pictured with me, formed the basis of my emailed correspondence and challenge to religious leaders around the globe (see “Challenge” at www.wound-wisdom.tk), after having been confronted with having to look after an unknown child (some-one else’s beautiful child), kicked out of home by “religious” parents – for not turning out as they had expected. How some of the religious (and not so religious) leaders across the spectrum of religious belief responded, is also detailed on the site. This gives us all considerable “food for thought”, so that we may be well prepared to "Confront Condemnation" wherever, and whenever this arises. Our one hope (to love, and to be loved, in return) unites all, and I trust, hope and pray, that the words of that lovely and truthful message "I will survive" sung by Gloria Gaynor "As long as I know how to love, I know I'll be alive ! I've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to give - and I'll survive ! I will survive" - will become the self-evident mantra we can sing whenever we are confronted with condemnation, so that we, at least, may live love, as we live. |
