ONE HEART BEAT
In eternity, from no beginning to no ending, there is the heart beat of life.
One Heart Beat, your heart beat, my heart beat, the common One Heart Beat of the whole humanity.
This One Heart Beat that all humanity shares has been demonstrated by a single stroke in Chinese ink symbolizing the Simple Truth that we, as one Global Family, are all interconnected by
the common One Heart Beat.
If any of our children in the world, in China, Africa, America, India or Canada, are hurting, we all hurt;
If any children suffer, we all suffer;
If any child dies; part of us dies too.
All children, Chinese, African, American, Indian or Canadian,
are all our children!
Truth doesn't have to be complicated; it can be manifested in one single stroke or act.
The Simple Truth is that if we put our Love into action now, we shall have more Hope for the world.
