THROUGHOUT his writings Barry Lopez returns to the idea that natural landscapes are capable of bestowing a grace upon those who pass through them.
“Light Action in the Caribbean” (2000) was a diverse collection of short stories bound by Mr. Lopez’s belief in the redemptive values of self-respect.
“Lopez takes readers not only out of themselves to another place but into themselves as well. he is much attracted to the rift that has opened between human society and nature — more specifically to the theory that ART can close it. He believes in the community of artists.” NEW YORK TIMES 12/26/20
COMMUNION WITH GOD is the only thing to live for. You will have to come to that understanding eventually, often after much suffering. Why not learn now? He is ready to welcome you. You can’t fail to reach God ultimately, It is foolish to ask, “Will I be able to get into the kingdom of heaven?” There is no other place you can stay for that is your real home. You don’t have to earn it. You are already God’s child made in His image. You have only to tear away the mask of the human being and realize your divine birthright.” YOGANANDA
KIND WORDS AND SUPPORTIVE LANGUAGE BUILD HOPE FOR HUMANITY.
IT is also a way to curb the inner critic and choose love over impatience, anger, jealousy, hate and irritation. Keep your hope alive with love.
Tell at least five people a day something nice, kind, supportive & caring.
YOUR HOPE IS YOUR LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS.
