What beautiful and inspiring words! Thank you for sharing! However, be sure to also share where you got this from as I ran it through a plagiarism checker and you know what I found.
I'm not saying not to post things like that. It's a very meaningful thing to write. I'm just saying to be sure you post where it came from originally, even if you added some of your own and/or had AI write a good bit of it for you (which should also be mentioned). And, naturally, be sure not to enter things like this into contests.
Anyway, thank you for sharing this! I hope you post it on the Newsfeed (with a disclaimer, of course). It may help someone in need.
I needed this a few days ago, yesterday, and already this morning. Thank you for it. For no particular reason I clicked on Blogging. My entry is good also. It is right below yours.
I need to be reminded of this "This story is all about life. It teaches us that We must GIVE before We can RECEIVE Abundantly." when I write a poem for/about someone. My meagre words may have meanings even I don't recognise.
Recently, Rosemary thanked me for a poem I wrote for her years ago. And then within 24 hours I received a review for it here (after years of few views and no reviews).
This morning I was reflecting on the power of intuition when a human being strongly and deeply wants to know something. It is as if the universe then cooperates in every way possible with this wish, and grants it in mysterious ways. One of the best examples is the unexpected victory in the Battle of Midway Island at the beginning of World War II. We had been attacked at Pearl Harbor and had so little left to fight with. It was a desperate moment, and we were trying to determine where the Japanese would attack next. Most thought it would be on bases in south Asia. This was the major thinking of US intelligence. But there was one intelligence officer who had what he called a "hunch" that it would be at Midway Island in the Pacific Ocean. His strong opinion was dismissed as nonsense and no one took him seriously. Refusing to back down, he knew that we had figured out the Japanese code and that whatever the next target was, they called it "AF" in their conversations which were monitored by US intelligence. So he asked "Just do this one thing for me, please, send out a false message from Midway Island that they have a water shortage, then let's see what they say to each other." So, finally they agreed, and in a radio message from Midway went the words "Midway has a water shortage . . . Midway has a water shortage." We listened. The Japanese spies then radioed "AF has a water shortage . . AF has a water shortage." We knew! So every single warship, which was not many, turned toward Midway, and the one air squadron we had in California immediately flew there. If we had been surprised, it would have easily been invaded. We moved everything we had left, which was so very little. The squadron lost every man but one, who was found floating afterwards in the ocean. But they did the job, as did the battleships. Only because it was not a surprise to us. Only because a man who cared had a "hunch", an intuitive feeling that he could not ignore. Against all odds, we should never have known, we should never have won. The impossible became possible because of one man's intuition and his trust in it. It is so interesting to read the books about it. History is not just facts, real history is always feelings too.
