Unity in Diversity: a new dawn: Turn On the Lights and Turn Up the Love

by Rodolfo León

Silent rain on silent seeds Is waking up once-silent needs; In each of us, deep in our hearts, Is where the silent growing starts. When we have had enough of things, A deeper yearning in us stings, And as our pain moves tears to flow, This very rain makes new things grow. Out of the ground where we’d felt lost, Among the hopes that we had tossed, Where old roots wind a worn-out course, New growths reach out from some new source. Then slowly we begin to feel, As leaves turned toward the sky implore, A sun is shining now for real That we had only dreamed before. We have all this wonderful technology that allows us to connect easily with one another regardless of our distances, but now we need a system of beliefs that allows us to connect easily with one another regardless of our differences. In other words, we now need beliefs to match our technology. That is what this new dawn is all about.
