Mayday

It's Beltane tonight...
I kinda wish that I could dance and weave those ribbons,
tie that fruit and bread to the trees,
make that cone with a circle of people I love..
leap over that fire and shed that all dead winter bark..
let go of my worries...
"Father forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me, for I freely forgive all men. If we would secure and cultivate the love of others, we must love others, even our enemies as well as friends. . . . I possess the principle of love. All I can offer the world is a good heart and a good hand. The Saints can testify wether I am willing to lay down my life for my brethren. If it has been demonstrated that I have been willing to die for a "Mormon", I am bold to declare before Heaven that I am just as ready to die in defeding the rights of a Presbyterian, a batist, or a good man of any other denomination. . . . It is a love of liberty which inspires my soul." -- HOC 5:498 (Joseph Smith Jr.)
