RWP's prompt #115: things we believe in and things we don't
Spirituality
Laws of the universe
A feeling in your heart, a purpose for being here
See cycles of change, seasons develop one into another
Death of a loved one, a dove visits once a year
Souls do exist
A newborn baby’s first cry, a mother weeps with joy
Children playing and laughing-happiness
Wag of a dog’s tail, purr of a cat
Purposes and reasons
Love and friendship
Someone you meet, you know them
Soulmates, kindred spirits
Will we find each other on our journey?
Communication and creativity
Connect with the universe- believe
Rid ourselves of:
Anger
Envy
Greed
Hate
Racism
Deceit
Abuse
Wars-don’t believe

Yes yes yes to your lists. I like the Flaubert quote.
ReplyDeleteIrene,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! If only those lists could come true. It starts with us. I too love Flaubert!
Pamela
I really like the line "death of a loved one, a dove visits once a year".
ReplyDeleteBarbara,
ReplyDeleteThanks, my sister tells me that a dove visits her ever since our mom's death and she says it is our mom. And I believe! Thanks for stopping by.
Pamela
Simple...Love, friendships and basically just being decent human beings! Love how to the point the non-belief list is, it doesn't deserve more :) Enjoyed!
ReplyDeleteLiked the positive list.The bad news is that the negative list has and will always be with us.I believe it is called human nature.In the bible they blame Eve for it...In Greek mythology they blame Pandora...I say it's a mysogynist fantasy!
ReplyDeleteLori, Thanks for the comment.If we could only be the good list. Imagine! Thanks for stopping by.

Rall, As always I enjoy you stopping by and reading what you have to say. I don't read the bible and never have owned one.I know excerpts from the big book though and know enough about religions to not want to make me join up. I don't believe in organized religion. It is always the woman's fault. Too bad the positive can't be the way it is.

good one Pam...nicely done...I do not believe you are an early bird though...well who am I to say..you are an early bird...thanks again for sharing your words
ReplyDeleteWayne, Thanks for the comment and I was saying for me I was early because I have been late the last few times with the prompt due to my work schedule. I appreciate you stopping by. Tomorrow I will get round to everyone also.

Pamela, thanks for sharing your lists. I enjoyed reading them. Particularly this from the belief side:
ReplyDelete"Will we find each other on our journey?"
We do meet or "meet" people as we make our journeys, don't we? How sad it would be for us if we didn't.
Thanks!
Paul,
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting. In fact that one brings tears to my eyes. How sad it would be if we didn't. I in my life thus far have meet some wonderful people. And there are those few I have felt a special connection with. Having made my journey so far a delight. Thanks for stopping by.
Pamela
Wonderfully warm and inspirational list of beliefs. The nots are strong. Wish they could be converted to the oh, yes list.
ReplyDeleteSusan,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your kind words. I too wish the same but I don't think we will ever see that unfortunately. Thanks for stopping by.
Pamela
I appreciate the simple direct honesty of your "list" Pamela. I think you've stated the choice we get to make - in every moment, and where do we put our attention-care. Envision as you wish, and that's your part I think. I'll certainly take your hand too in this regard.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pamela. (And actually, honestly, you make me feel more at ease about my own posting, although I'll leave the explanation aside.)
Neil,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all thanks for commenting. Yes I do believe these things in the good list and I am not so blind to think that there will not always be the things in the bad list. As most people think it is human nature. But to be negative is something I am not easily available to. I see the good and am smart enough to understand and stay away from the bad. Not to say that I haven't seen my fair share of evil or wickedness. I have not completely understood it at times and other times yes. But none the less I certainly appreciate you stopping by and commenting.
Pamela
I too want to shout "Yes" to your yes lists!
ReplyDeleteErin,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and cmmenting. I wish we lived only the "yes" list myself.
Pamela
I like the way you connect spirituality and the laws of the universe and take it all the way down to simple things like a dog's tail wagging. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteJames,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for commenting. It is the simple things in life that are sometimes overlooked. I believe. I am glad you liked it.
Pamela
I like how your list starts out with obeying the laws of the universe and ends with ridding ourselves of war and abuse.
ReplyDeletethat would be just wonderful!

Angie,
