What I Believe
Welcome to my homepage.

Thanks to all of my wonderful Care2 friends for your beautiful comments and making this a place of refuge. I hope that everyone finds something here that they will enjoy and no one leaves offended. While this page reflects my beliefs it does not mean that other views are not welcome.

A few days ago a robin paid a visit.  He carefully inspected my lawn and various nooks of my patio.  I think he's house hunting *smile*   I hope so.  

Before I could run and get my phone and come back to my window he was gone.  So I can only share a few pictures of his friends. 

Enjoy!

Robin

 

Love
Pamela Lyn







Robin in the TreesI Think Continually  of Those Who Were Truly Great
by Stephen Spender

I think continually of those who are truly great.
Who, from the womb, remembered the soul's history
Through corridors of light where the hours are suns,
Endless and singing.  Whose lovely ambition
Was that their lips, still touched with fire,
Should tell of the spirit clothed from head to foot in song.
And who hoarded from the spring branches
The desires falling across their bodies like blossoms.

What is precious is never to forget
The delight of the blood drawn from ancient springs
Breaking through rocks in worlds before our earth;
Never to deny its pleasure in the simple morning light,
Nor its grave evening demand for love;
Never to allow gradually the traffic to smother
With noise and fog the flowering of the spirit.


RobinNear the snow, near the sun, in the highest fields
See how these names are feted by the waving grass,
And by the streamers of white cloud,
And whispers of wind in the listening sky;
The names of those who in their lives fought for life,
Who wore at their hearts the fire's center.
Born of the sun, they travelled a short while
towards the sun,
And left the vivid air signed with their honor.

Martin and Robert

" What is objectionable, what is dangerous about extremists is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they say about their cause, but what they say about their opponents.

The intolerant man will not rely on persuasion, or on the worth of the idea.  He would deny to others the very freedom of opinion or of dissent which he so stridently demands for himself. He cannot trust democracy. "

-- Robert F. Kennedy



"These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." -- Thomas Paine


Barbara Jordan

" If a man be gracious to strangers, it shows that he is a citizen of the world, and his heart is no island, cut off from other islands, but a continent that joins them." -- Francis Bacon


Love Your Enemies

"You're familiar with the old written law, 'Love your friend,' and its unwritten companion, 'Hate your enemy.' I'm challenging that. I'm telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer, for then you are working out of your true selves, your God-created selves. This is what God does. He gives his best—the sun to warm and the rain to nourish—to everyone, regardless: the good and bad, the nice and nasty. If all you do is love the lovable, do you expect a bonus? Anybody can do that. If you simply say hello to those who greet you, do you expect a medal? -- The Message ( Matthew 5:43-47)


People will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel.
-- Maya Angelou


Einstein


" I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. "
-- Albert Einstein



" Too many of us look upon Americans as dollar chasers. This is a cruel libel, even if it is reiterated thoughtlessly by
the Americans themselves." -- Albert Einstein











In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. -- Martin Luther King Jr.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. " -- -- Martin Luther King Jr.


"The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood." --- Martin Luther King Jr., Strength to Love, 1963

Coretta Scott King




Ghandi
"The function of a civil resister is to provoke response. And
we will continue to provoke until they respond. They are not in control. We are."

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end,they always fall--think of it, ALWAYS."
-- Mahatma Gandhi




Pam's Coffee Conversation



If there is light in the soul

There will be beauty in the person.

If there is beauty in the person

There will be harmony in the house.

If there is harmony in the house

There will be order in the nation.

If there is order in the nation

There will be peace in the world.

--Chinese Proverb

Birthday Nov 01  
Languages English, French  
About Me Mix together equal measures of political junkie, sports fanatic and nature lover. Add a heaping cup of Julia Sugarbaker, a pinch of Molly Ivins, a touch of geek, a dollop of hopeless romanticism and lots endlessly questioning spirit. Pour into a bowl of southern family roots and bake in the ovens of Philadelphia and Boston and voila. You have it. My life. The evolution of a global butterfly --passionate about life, open to discovery, committed to improving social conditions, determined to fighting the spirit of Leland Gaunt, and struggling to live with grace. This is my life, the reason I write, and the things that I write about.
