“When I say it's you I like, I'm talking about that part of you that knows
That life is far more than anything you can ever See or Hear or Touch.
That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things
Without which humankind cannot survive. Love that
Conquers hate, Peace that rises triumphant
Over war, and Justice that proves
More powerful than greed.”
Fred Rogers
I firmly believe, that there is a seed at the core of every human being,
One that is connected to all the other seeds on the planet. With it,
You know instinctively what is right and what is wrong, what is
Loving, what is contrary to your survival. All the evils of the
World; the Greed, the Hate, indiscriminate killing, begin
When we stop listening to that seed in our hearts, and
What it is telling us. We know that there is ONLY one
“Race “of men on the planet. We know that we are
All Brothers and Sisters, together in one family.
Families do not always get along; generally,
They do share love for one another. Why
Do we find it so hard to love everyone?
Can you not look past the outside
To see the “Seed Within”, to
The love that we all share?

This is an awesome post, Jerry. Beautifully written. Thank you for sharing this.
This is one of my core beliefs, that we
Are all connected inside, we just have
Forgotten how to hear that link.
Dang girl! I went to your page to look, and everything of yours is 10 days old or older, so no need to upvote.
Sorry, I'll check back another time...💓 love you my friend
I have been tied up with some legal issues so I have not been able to post as often as I want to. Hopefully, these issues will be resolved soon! I have missed being here more...
Wow, never thought about the world in such a way :o
Mind blown!
Well done on the post! <3
Basic and fundamental to me, that I can't believe it when people,
Like you just now, tell me they've never thought of it that way.
Please think on it some more, take it to heart and look
With new eyes on your brothers and sisters.

I have a whole list of those emoticon codes, if you're interested.
I like to help. 😊Thank you @bud96, I appreciate the comment. This philosophy is so
This is deep. It sad how most people can't look past the physical, how people can't see people from within, how we often miss seeing the beautiful soul within. Most of all how we hinder the seed in us from growing because we don't water our relationships.
Another comment showing profound wisdom.
Thank you @skinnyblackgirl.
I think we are on the same page.
totally deep poem jerry! I too think there is some kind of seed in some way inside of the human body. perhaps its a soul, it's something that grows. upvoted and resteemed
Thanks Liz, I think that what is commonly called our 'conscience' may be the seed, or a part of it
Anyway, as that is generally what tells us something is right or wrong.
I'll try to come see you soon. Right now, I'm up to my
Neck in taxes and medical documents. :( I'm happy you stopped by, and liked my work @deadgrlsuppastar.
The light within me salutes the light within you, my friend!
May our brilliance shine on forever @melinda010100, together
