Kia Ora All

As we near the end of this year, I gather my thoughts and search for the way ahead as pain gathers close… the pain of children lost, of so many innocent lives cut short… such tragic events, which sow seeds of despair.

I search for hope as I come to a festive season filled with family and friends. And as I set aside the shadows that gather, I lift my thoughts and remember that…

Love knows no master but love!

Love sees no rivals for it
Does not compete.

Love nurtures without seeking recognition
For it steps beyond ego.

Love walks without importance
And serves.

Love holds no fear
And needs no secrets

Love does not stand in judgment
And seeks not to preach but to be.

Love offers forgiveness

Love lets go.

Hope is all around us!

We are awakening because it is time to honour the way of spirit.
We have to awaken.
The lore of opposites is creating the purpose and the means.
We are rising to a new world of understanding and peace.
It is the only trail that promises survival.

Wishing you a wonderful New Year, should it arrive in January, February or May depending on your culture’s way.

Kia Kaha! Be strong in your truth!

Arohanui! Love to all.

Barry Brailsford.
