In any situation,
there is where life is to be found
and where there is nothing
but the dead and dying.
The difference lies in our
perception/perspective.

By the way we look at things,
we prescribe life or death.

In any situation,
there is what brings us to life
and there is what reduces
our chances at life to the level
of minus numbers.

How we see what we look at
makes all the difference.

People lived through the Depression
with much less than we have,
and we say, "Oh, woe, poor me, poor me."

Homer was a blind poet
who found life wherever he looked.
People live in the desert
and find life everywhere.

What are we looking for
that keeps us from seeing
what is there?

How do we turn the light around
in order to see what is before us
that we aren't seeing?

We have to become servants of life
in all situations
in every circumstance.
"Where is life hiding here?"
"What holds life for us now?"
"How can we live in the service of life
anyway, nevertheless, even so?"

Jesus raised the dead to life.
He wasn't doing anything we can't do.
If we can understand that,
we have all we need
to find what we need
to do what needs to be done.
Anyway, nevertheless, even so!
