the mind is blind when the eyes can't see

Just yesterday, my eyes were closed

But today, my eyes are wide open

Since the rise of the morning sun

My eyes have discovered

The truth, the love and compassion

That had been hiding inside my soul

 

With the light of the evening moon

My mind had been opened

My legs now stable, can find the direction

And the ability to walk alone if need to be

Find the cause of my heart that now can see

 

Since the darkness has lifted and my mind is open

My ears and touch has been sharpened leaving the shadows behind

I discovered my hands can touch, my ears can hear

The things that were so far away, are now so very near

Now that my mind no longer strays away

From the truth inside me, where my heart had been broken

 

My heart, my mind, my soul, all opened up for me to discover

That everything I see, feel or touch, has risen up beyond the broken cross

My spirit cannot be broken, as no man can blind me ever again

Since my life has just begun, and my mind has recovered my memory loss

That gives me love from within and no words have been spoken

Change in position - Refugees

This Thanksgiving Day I want to begin to say, I have listened, seen and heard all I could about the refugee situation and believe that we must support them in a manner that benefits all – THIS IS A CHANGE IN POSITION =

This is a change in my position on the refugee problem = but it is a measured plea for rational and responsible policy making by our government and its agencies.
I realize the world is one quarter Muslim and 99 per cent are good people = for that reason I propose that Saudi Arabia and its neighbors take in 90 per cent of them and give them a place to live, shelter and feed them.
This I know = we must stop ISIS
This I know = Christians are being brutally murdered + Muslims are brutally murdered
This I know = we need to offer all we can protection and avoid torture or mass killings
This I know = we have to actively avoid these horrors
This I know = although I should embrace this concept with open arms, I just can’t do that right now until I know that we don’t do this refugee policy by desperation and deprive us of our rights in the process.
From a place of love and compassion and for the sake of humanity, we might begin to listen to our brothers and sisters among Muslims that have lent ISIS some support and stop the use of drones, and other unwarranted violence towards innocents that are collateral damage in the eyes of our military but that created increased hatred towards our own society as the aggressors on men, women and children.
From a place of love, and compassion I welcome Muslims to America as long as they undergo a vetting background check that reduces the risk of terrorism.
I realize that geographically, they should be dispersed and received to those communities who have expressed their willingness to receive them into their communities and do so by preference and priority making sure that all groups are equally distributed in fair numbers not to overwhelm the cultural balances of those communities and allow educational and reintegration with due process and due diligence to occur to make resettlement a positive experience.
 I realize that’s not fool proof but we owe it to the world to do what we can. We cannot merely open the doors and let them in – that is both irresponsible and dangerous to our own national security.
I cannot hate mankind - for I would want the same opportunity if i were in need of a safe place to live. My mind cannot see any evil in giving those who need love, understanding and compassion a chance to be like us = free from persecution and unreasonable treatment and restrictions.
If you disagree with me, I understand and respect that - but this Thanksgiving Day, I thank the good Lord for giving me a brain and a heart to sort this situation out without politics or biases or even prejudiced opinions or comments.
