LOVE: A SWAN SONG? | LAVEDA D. ROCKFORD

 


LOVE: A SWAN SONG?

Is love a swan song? I looked up how many ways to say love. According to www.indifferentlanguages.com there are over 100 ways to say it. Amour, Gra, Amore, Amor and the list goes on.

In The United States of America, we have people that come from all over the world. Though this word is universal, where did this universal feeling go?

I have watched hatred fill our atmosphere almost to the point of no “good” will toward our fellow man. Everyone who is a so-called activist should be concerned of this turn of events. An activist is supposed to have the innate ability to look at an issue and decide what is good and right, fair and just, with an equality for all regardless of what others do and say. To argue a cause that is important to them and this, today, is my cause.

At the beginning of humanity, Adam was concerned when he did not see a companion for himself. (Genesis 2:20) One of the most important works of God was to make a companion for man. A companion is someone to assist and share in the twists and turns of life. Companionship is a fellowship among companions. If we are all in this together, this ship that we call life, what then do we care about if not love first? Love, a universal word.

A reflection of a world where love does not exist would look something like this.

Love lagging lamented labial,

Lanced, limping & lifeless.

Lingering loiter laying lurid,

Love’s luscious luminance lost.

 

I am calling on all of you who still believe in love to join me in making our world a better place. Showing love instead of hate. Spreading peace around the world, making a difference. It is okay to be different if your difference is above the status quo. Rise up above the gutter and live where everyone has the right to pursue happiness and where love exists.

While most of us celebrate that universal word LOVE, I hope that you can rise above and join your voice with us to make the world a better place.

God bless and have a wonderful weekend.

With love,

Laveda D. Rockford

The Path | Laveda D. Rockford

The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. (Proverbs 4:18)   The Path My days are filled with work. I work full time, caring for the lawn, flower garden, and I am a painter of oil on canvas, as well as a writer and blogger. I am Laveda D. Rockford. My Mother, her doctors say, is in stage four cancer and has been since 2015. However, we are blessed that she can still do a lot of things on her own. In fact, I took her to see my brother in Texas and she will be staying with him for a while. Her next injections are not until later this month. I have not had time to write even though I have started my third book. The publisher that I contacted to publish my second book gave me an estimate but when I was ready to pay, they did not contact me again. I am wondering about this as I do have the funds and would like to begin. If you know of a publisher that is interested in a Christian novel, please send me the information so I c...

Ready For This | Laveda D. Rockford

  Ready for This Winter is shortly coming to an end, When spring colors do appear, What wonderful sights you see in shrubs and trees, Flowers of white, red, and yellow, with leaves of green, Shouts the joys of the spring, Singing loud before summers day, Oh, it is a wonderful day, When the earth wakes from sleep. © 2024 Laveda D.

Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford

  Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford I am trying my best in the heat of early summer to complete my flower garden borders. I have been working on this vision for almost two years and have finally reached a point where I can show you and you can understand. The newest section will contain a small patio area with table and chairs surrounded on one side with Buxus as a screen of privacy. Burgundy Plum and Cherry trees, as well as Sand Cherry and a few tulips will welcome spring weather. Then Iris will rise up until they burst into their beauty. Purple, yellow, and a burgundy and white combination. Oh, what a delight. Late spring into summer, Yarrow (Achillea) rise higher and throw on their crown of flowers acting as a forerunner into summer’s beauty. Phlox, Whirling Butterflies (Gaura) purple Salvia, Shasta Daisy, Hydrangea and Clematis all vie for attention in the summer sun. The Rose of Sharon, single and double, tree and bush, will bring forth their beaut...
