wednesday morning.

 welcome to wednesday.  this wednesday is gonna be a doozy.  sometimes the mantra of a wednesday is survive to live another thursday if you know what i mean.  but actually, i think it's a day with a lot of promise.  i think this wednesday has potential for FUN.  we'll see.

anyways this is the scripture that i'm thinking about this morning:

 And it came to pass that I beheld that the ^arod of iron, which my father had seen, was the ^bword of God, which ^cled to the fountain of ^dliving waters, or to the ^etree of life; which waters are a representation of the love of God; and I also beheld that the tree of life was a representation of the love of God. --1Nephi 11:25

so what i was thinking about was life = love and the word of God leads to life which is love.  and maybe to really live, one must really love.  love God, love yourself, love the earth, love your cat, love each precious individual that you can crack your heart open to love.  and then i was thinking that people are scared of love sometimes.  i know i have been because loving is being vulnerable to hurt and loss.  and i have felt that loss and suffered from it.  but it's a trick to be afraid to love because not loving is not living.  and that means death.  and it's an end to everything, growth and happiness.  and it's a nothing.  it's better to live.  love may make me vulnerable but it doesn't make me weak.  it makes me strong and vibrant.  there are many ways to love and show love.  pick some.  live. love. let your heart sprout a tree of life and let the lush green of life feed you, feed the world.
