Love Unconditional By Leezalee Barr Author of Love Peace & Sweet Tea... Look at the Capitol now and see love, The love for an entire country, Love for an entire citizenry. Look at yourself and heal this love, A love that overcame harbors, Jungles, canals and walls. Look into the heavens for more love, Unconditional love. Use more love to start a love fest. Look deeper until we get cities, states. Look to God! Unconditional love can save us. It can move the masses. This love can be yours! It can be all the people. This hope is love. Love Unconditional! Look up and see your joy rising Like the sun.

Project Blue Bridge To bring fringe dwellers, the disenfranchised, middle America, those feeling depression, and all who love America and things American to ...a place of reckoning. Think of something you can do today and the rest of the week to bridge the gap, to make somebody feel better, to provide hope and healing to your community, workplace or group. Once you have done this ask or help the person you bring over the bridge to help someone else. Let's see how many people we can help to heal to move forward.
