She talked about love, that love was what these children so badly wanted, that only love could help them. Although she could never become their real biological parents, she embodied the force of true unconditional love. It makes me want to cry!
When most people look at these violent, destructive youths they only see monsters, not their pain which they are products of. Imagine as a child all the world has shown to you is negativity, more and more negativity, violence...no unconditional love. It could only fill a person with pain, anger and nothing to live for....nothing to love. No ENERGY. The energy which comes from the most almighty power source there is.....LOVE.

Their tortured spirits seem to scream from the pain, frightened and so defensive because they are used to being hurt....thats how any abused creature would be if you think about it.

It all got me thinking. I felt such tromendous emotion wash over me at the realisation. The most important thing in the world which we all need to live, to nourish us- is LOVE. Without it, we cannot grow. Plants need the sun and rain...without sufficient supply of it they will either die or grow weak. People ARE the SAME.

There are so many ugly things going on in the world. But The Beatles REALLY were right- all we need IS love!!!!!!

It is a long, long journey.....A LONG, LONG road to awareness....being able to SEE things the way they really are- awakening- does not (usually, lol) happen overnight. The universe will sort us through our karmic (if you like) path- our lessons- bit by bit, step by step. Piece by piece the puzzle comes together. It takes many lives to succeed. To REAL-EYES that we are all inter-connected. We have all experienced pain. The only way to stop it is by understanding each other and by embracing love...that universal love. REAL-EYESING that deep down, under our skins, we are all same....really. All made of the same stuff. Our soul essence.

I realise this will sound corny to many people, but I absolutely believe it- or rather than believe it, I feel it deep inside me. It is imprinted within me; over my heart- that is where the flame burns.

And I am FAR, FAR from perfect.....but this is something I DO feel, and when I first realised it I was never the same again. But trying to make others understand is another dense forest to find my way through! It is so, so difficult. Words are so incredibly limited. Each reader will interpret them in their own way, just as in art, music.....anything. I just wish I could reach out, make a difference...heal some of the pain and suffering in the world...spread the light....which is LOVE.
But it isn't easy!

Anyway, back to my original point- that lady on the documentary was !!!!!AMAZING!!!!!! A TRUE

The pure love and light emanating from her being has made me go

"Love You!"

It's especially amazing when you consider that Vladivostok is one of the most infamous cities in the world for gangsters, crime, violence, government & police corruption in the world, especially in 98.

And for knowing how cold it was in winter, kids and other homeless have to go down the "holes" into the sewers and such and sleep on pipes for hot water to survive.

I thought this vid was good about describing street kids in Russia. It actually reminds me in many ways of what it's like to be a street kid in the USA:

"It's just a ride & we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings & money, a choice, right now, between fear & love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy guns, close yourself off, the eyes of love instead see all of us as one".....
