Our Way Back Home

When dealing with the struggles of life, there are beacons ready and willing to guide us.

Our Way Back Home


Love
dreams
of dispersing the angry clouds of hatred

Compassion
yearns
to eliminate the evils of divisiveness

Gratitude
seeks
to counteract the venom of self-pity

Courage
dares
to wage war against the ominous shadows of fear


Like beacons
these triumphant heroes illuminate the soul ...

one’s gateway between darkness and light

... and they beg us to let them guide
as we find our way back home.
