Pentagonal Dodecahedron

Shelter we seek to protect all that is sacred, to us and our future, is like ice that floats on fresh water, protecting life below. Forces beyond our control stimulate a collision of antimatter & matter only good prevails. The stable gel we call life is in constant jeopardy of destruction. Every act of love thickens the ice, but the ice is thawing, leaving mankind closer to the collision. I urge all humans to re-double their efforts, see clearly the good, and never be satisfied 'till the ice is solid again 09/05/16

So true, your message and meaning are on point, ... I don't think we can change the world or the age of first dawn. Hope the good bring more goodness. LINDA

The urge to love is strong here, James. It seems every great sacred master has urged love as a basic tenet. In the face of universal hate and violence, how can anything but love stem the course. Good work for all to read. Love, daver

Good advice but I fear selfish people will not comply.

Great writing, James! For sure, the world of cause and effect often leads us where we do not want to go or be. Guard of feelings and emotions. I often tell myself, if I have to convince myself to do something or feel in a certain way, it is wrong. Truth needs no affirmation other than its presence.

Enjoyed reading the simplicity that points to complexity's here James, We can look and act of we can lift ourselves above a lot of hurdles, to be fair many of them 'manufactured' ones and the best antidote is to challenge this situation.'
