 Hello,  i have been on this journey which is called Life on Planet earth, some 54 years now.  ive been twisted , beat up, broken, mended but never really whole,  have read books on religion, metaphysics, meditation, worked hard, sometimes had a nice bank account,  but it seemed happiness that comes from inside out eluded me,  but i kept at it, sometimes going over the ground previous that appeared to offer some soul lutions to my discontent,  Some 5 years ago after a really lousy breakup with my signicant other of 12 years who 'dumped" me for a guy who makes alot of money,   i gave up drinking ,   it wasn't doing it for me anymore. Truth is i had descended into Alcoholism,  which after being legaly drunk all day every day , a good day was when i made coffee before i had a beer in the morning,    Anyway,  after getting sober went to AA and though many principles were sound,  happiness eluded me,  Well i took a look at my long ago past , my not so distant past, and my present,  seems my flaws or problems were many and diverse,  This flaw needed such and such a soul lution  and this one needed this and so on ,   it seemed insurmountable to me.  So i asked well then, what similarity do all my faults / problems share ?   hmmmmmm   Good Question ,  hmmmm    And it was then i realised i needed .......Love..........  Love  huh ?    okay .
Great ,  how does one get Love ?  hmmm ?   that was the question i posed myself,    i didn't know ,   i really was void of Love...  i didn't like myself,   Well i was out walking the dog getting some exercise,   and i was thinking about this thing called "Love"  and with every other step in my walk i started ryhming word and thoughts about Love ,  God is Love,  Love is God ,  Love is the air i breath, Love is the sea i see, Love is You and love is me,  i just kept going rhyming along my walk not caring how silly it all was , 
i would do this on my nightly walk with the pounddog,    Then another thought came to me every person i meet no matter how brief is the encounter a hello walking past on the street or eye contact in the grocery store i would speak with the notion before to speak with Love to whomever i meet.
as i did this more an more in my Life i started to noticed i was becoming happier in every waking moment,  the more i gave out of love, i was in turn recieving more to my very being,
as i kept conscious of my need for love and my need to give "my" love away  i am such a happier person than i could ever had imagine.
This all came in conjunction with my belief in a God ,   The God i grew up with , was a conditional God ..   Though there were references to love,   it seemed love wasnt being taught as something we can aquire.  as i grew in Love i grew to know a Loving , Kind , compassionate God,
i have a prayer  i use in the morning and evening   along with my Conscious thought to treat everyone and thing with Love,  my prayer goes like this
   i believe in God,    i believe in Love,  i believe that Love is the conduit to my Creator / God, Alpha / Omega  i ask of God my Creator for Love and all that Love has to offer..
i write this for those that may think that lonliness and despair is all that will ever  be thier inheritance while on this  reality called Life on Planet Earth... 
  In Love an submission slave ricky
