The World That Love Built

Dear friends, I’ve written before about the idea of making the world a better place.  Someone recently asked me what this world would be like.  Drawing on parts of my personal vision statement, I said “I want to build a world where people are healthier, happier, and kinder to one another.”  And she probed deeper, asking, “How would things be if people were healthier, or happier, etc.?” 

I could not answer immediately answer her and that meant I needed to do more thinking about it.  What I am going to share here right now is not perfect, complete, or polished.  It simply comes from my heart. 

I LONG to live in a world where:

• Every single human has plenty of food to eat.
• Every single human has a nice and safe place to live.
• Every single human has access to health care throughout their life span.  No one dies of a curable disease.
• Humans know how to share the planet with other species; and thus our animal brothers and sisters are thriving.
• Our Earth is thriving, with clean air, water, and soil that supports all life.
• Every single human that wants it has free access to high quality education.
• Every single human has the possibility to self-actualize by discovering and growing their special gifts and talents. 
• We care more about each other than we do money and creatures comforts.
• We all know and live as though we are interconnected, not just humans but all life.
• Indigenous cultures are valued and supported in ways they want to be supported.
• ALL humans live – truly – as EQUALS.
• Humans’ highest goal is to care for each other, our animal brothers and sisters and our Earth, and we have a reverence for all life.  We seek knowledge and resources to further the well-being of all forms of life. 

That is the start of my bold vision for a world built by Love.  What is your vision for the world Love would build?

With Love, Hope, and Action for a Better World,
