If ever we need love, the time is now.
With these words, we open the December issue
of the Flaming Rose Journal
to bring significance to this moment of life and time.
Here now, near the end of one year
and beginning of the next,
we recollect the past and reflect upon the future.
We seek deeper meaning and purpose,
greater understanding of our true life needs,
and greater ability to give and receive love.
To live more joyfully
and well.



 
         

"Whatever I am offered with a pure heart
– a leaf, a flower, fruit or water –
I accept with joy."
Bhagavad Gita



 
This month we have five songs of love by Joe Kirkwood.
Love is All that Really Matters, Ultimately , We Were Meant for Love , The Heart's Pure Love ,
Love Everything and The Time is Now.
 
   

Love is All that Really Matters,  Ultimately

cities come and go
down through the ages
there is always destruction
and always new creation

and through all the changes
of civilization and time
through all the changes
of humankind

love is all that really lasts
ultimately
love is all that really matters
ultimately

economies come and go
down through the ages
there is always devaluation
and always new creation

and through all the changes
of fortune and time
through all the changes
of humankind

love is all that really lasts
ultimately
love is all that really matters
ultimately

philosophies come and go
down through the ages
there is always dissolution
and always new creation

and through all the changes
of thoughts and time
through all the changes
of humankind

love is all that really lasts
ultimately
love is all that really matters
ultimately

religions come and go
down through the ages
there is always desecration
and always new creation

and through all the changes
of gods and time
through all the changes
of humankind

love is all that really lasts
ultimately
love is all that really matters
ultimately

people come and go
down through the ages
there is always death
and always new creation

and through all the changes
of life and time
through all the changes
of humankind

love is all that really lasts
ultimately
love is all that really matters
ultimately

love sustains life's total unity
love sustains life's total harmony

and love is all that really matters
ultimately
love is all that really matters
ultimately

We Were Meant For Love

love was meant for us
we were meant for love

and I will come to you
you will come to me
and we will see this world together

and the Sun will shine up above
the world will turn
as two visions join as one
in the sight of love

love was meant for us
we were meant for love

and I will come to you
you will come to me
and we will feel this world together

the Sun will shine up above
the world will turn
as two hearts join as one
in the the care of love

love was meant for us
we were meant for love

and I will come to you
you will come to me
and we will know this world together

and the Sun will shine up above
the world will turn
as two minds join as one
in the consciousness of love

love was meant for us
we were meant for love

and I will come to you
you will come to me
and we will live in this world together

the Sun will shine up above
the world will turn
as two lives join as one
in the spirit of love

and love was meant for us
we were meant for love
we were meant for love
we were meant for love

The Time Is Now

if ever we needed love
the time is now
if ever we needed love
the time is now

the heart is filled with longing
in a hollow material world
the heart is filled with desire
in a hollow material world

only love can fill the longing
only love can fill the void

and if ever we needed love
the time is now
if ever we needed love
the time is now

the heart is filled with hurt
in a painful suffering world
the heart is filled with sorrow
in a painful suffering world

only love can bring healing
only love can bring joy

if ever we needed love
the time is now
if ever we needed love
the time is now

the heart is filled with conflict
in a broken divided world
the heart is filled with discontentment
in a broken divided world

only love can bring resolution
only love can bring peace

and if ever we needed love
the time is now
if ever we needed love
the time is now

the heart is filled with yearning
for a sacred soulful world
the heart is filled with need
for a sacred soulful world

only love can fill the yearning
only love can fill the need

and if ever we needed love
the time is now
the time is now
the time is now
the time is now
