ANZAC ~ Red and White Poppies




RED poppies have traditionally been a symbol of respect for soldiers who went to past wars, especially those who didn't return. They are specifically worn on ANZAC day in New Zealand and Australia on 25th April. "Lest we FORGET".
WHITE poppies symbolise our need to REMEMBER that war is a waste and there are never any winners. To me they symbolise our need to remember that there IS a better way. ♥

♥ Only Love is Real ~ Carole King ♥





"Only Love is real. Everything else is illusion."~ One of the basic tenets of A Course in Miracles
 


~ ONLY LOVE IS REAL ~
Carole King


As I bask in the glow of a just-lit fire
Feeling the warmth as the flame grows higher
I think it's true that nothing is really new under the sun
Watching a new love grow from old love's embers
Yesterday's gone but today remembers
Doesn't it seem to come down the same for everyone


Only love is real
Everything else illusion
Adding to the confusion of the way we connive
At being alive
Tracing a line till we can define
The thing that allows us to feel
Only love is real


Childhood dreams like muddy waters
Flowing through me to my son and daughters
Everything I ever thought is confirmed as truth to me
Even as I see the way that I want to go now
Still I wish I had known what I know now
Maybe I could have spared you giving your youth to me


Only love is real
Everything else illusion
Adding to the confusion of the way we contrive
To just stay alive
Tracing a line till we can define
The thing that allows us to feel
Only love is real
