We should maintain that if an interpretation of any word in any religion leads to disharmony and does not positively further the welfare of the many, then such an interpretation is to be regarded as wrong; that is, against the will of God, or as the working of Satan or Mara.

During Hard Times

During hard times
our minds stretch
like a larvae in a cocoon
bursting to become a Butterfly…
The longing for freedom
has us reaching for simplicity
The extraordinary in everyday things
a walk in the park
flowers shaped like a heart…
Seeing with new eyes
the world becomes
our paradise…
