HAL'S GOOD NEWS
A Little Light In The Darkness
My personal truths expressed in the words of others
for whom I have great respect.
(personal paraphrases of the King James Bible)
My desire is to share the pearls of truth I hear in these words.
If you have heard these truths before
in other words and other stories,
or from other voices in other lands;
Or, if you hear these words today and remark,
"Oh, yes. How simple. How easy. Even a child knows these things",
then we are friends of long acquaintance though we never meet.
I know you as you know me
because we have a common heart, common truths, common values.
Those who's ears rejoice at the sounds of truth and love
will hear what the words say.
Those who's eyes search the darkness for the hope of peace and kindness
will find a light.
Those who's hearts thirst for compassion and mercy
will find a cool drink.
Those who's minds strive and toil with uncertainty
will find a rest.
Children understand these things.
This is a children's story.
The child in you understands.
Listen to the child in you.
Listen to the children everywhere.
