If I am truly honest
I can not say I offer Love
To every stranger I meet
For then what would I offer
To those truly special in my Life
Instead, I would like to believe
I offer
Understanding
That their Life is as important to them
As mine is to me
Compassion
For all the pain and suffering
That comes with being Human
Tolerance
Of that which they choose to believe
And the way they choose to live
And the Freedom
To know their own Life
And to discover and develop their own abilities
Without any unwarranted hatred or prejudice from me
For even if I do not offer Love
There is no other foundation
On which Love can grow
Yes Love can grow in so many ways and in so many directions can you feel it? Love is that special feeling that is everywhere, be careful you never know it might be slipping in your door right now. I have seen a new phrase, Circle of Love, that has become very important to me as well as many others thanks to my special friend , Joe Cowboy Poet. I have chosen to take that phrase and develop a logo to use in recognizing someone who reflects the words found in the poem.
So get ready to look for this and to be involved as we honor someone with the first Circle of Love Award. More information coming soon. Here is your first glimpse .

Come on be a part of the Circle of Love and Make Life Simply Good….yes I do love that! Once again I must say Thank you Sweet William for allowing me to use your mantra…..Life Is Simply Good.

Imagine if people of the world honor what they can give to other people everywhere and anywhere where positivity will feed on itself.
Imagine this growing and getting recognized as a foundation for what can be truly special.
Imagine this going in circles.
Yes, you have imagined and you have the vision.
Thank you for sharing this with us. I am definitely looking forward to know more and to spread this cheer.
Have a great day, my dear friend!

Oh Victoria, you have honored me and I bow to your poetic inspiration. That was beautiful. I will so be part of this Circle of Love I have started….

You, my dear, are such a joy and inspiration.

What a wonderful idea - I think it is a winner. I created the Windspirit Award last year which I award to woman who deserve to receive some formal acknowledgement for something they have done in their lives or on their blogs.

March 24th, 2005 at 9:31 pm

This is very nice, you get your feelings across so well.
I would never be worthy to join your circle
but I appreciate and admire folks who have beauty of spirit.
The award design is great!
