JUSTICE  is a difficult virtue to describe since it involves the heart. The just heart lives in balance and harmony with giving and receiving.  It keeps balance between buying and not buying. The just heart is wise and lives in harmony with the poor and the rich.    Sounds idealistic?...it is, but achievable to the just heart.  Capitalism is good at generating wealth...not so good at spreading it around...it nourishes greed.    Arthur Simon Sharing the wealth produces equality... If human society loses the value of justice, the next generation will face greater difficulties and more suffering.    Dalai Lama Nothing is to be preferred before justice.    Socrates There is no justice in killing in the name of justice.    Desmond Tutu Let justice roll like a river...  Amos 5:24 When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous... Prov 21:15 JUST HEART  Search INDEX   http://connectwithlucyusingpho tos.blogspot.com

HEALING      We are all in need of healing. Sometimes we need physical healing from illness or from a handicap. Other times, we need psychological/emotional healing from abuse, from grief, from fear and from hurt feelings. We also need spiritual healing from discouragement, from despair, from doubt and faith crisis...the list goes on as we journey... Where is the Source of our healing?...This Source of LOVE reside within us, among us, in nature and everywhere....However, if we visualize this Source as being far away outside of ourselves, the healing is very difficult. For unexplainable reasons, healing can be instant or progressive. Is all physical healing realized?...No, but one is always assured of a spiritual healing by finding courage to accept the reality of our situation... Trees grow strong from the wind and storms...
