In words of love and thoughts profound,
We journey here, where hearts are found.
Forgiveness, kindness, leads our way,
In every step, through night and day.Embracing all, from Christ to Buddha,
In unity, our spirits gather.
With gentle breaths and open minds,
We seek the peace that heals, refines.A Course in Miracles shows our path,
Releasing judgments, easing wrath.
Perceptions shift as meanings fade,
A clearer light, in truth, displayed.Meditations guide us, deep and true,
In stillness, wisdom’s voice breaks through.
From Lesson One, the journey starts,
To understand with open hearts.Through poetry and prose we weave,
A tapestry of love, believe.
In every post, a beacon bright,
To share our warmth, to spread our light.So join us on this sacred quest,
With every word, our souls expressed.
Together, let’s create a space,
Of unity, of love, of grace.
Together, we are nurturing a community of
love, hope, and inner transformation.
Thank you for being a part of
“Inspirations of Love and Hope.”
With gratitude and blessings,
Richard Silverman
