THE THIRTY FIRST OF JUNE
“ Whatever is imagined must exist somewhere in the universe… Which [life] is real, which is imaginary, depends upon the position of the observer.” ” - J.B. Priestley
— “The Thirty First of June,” 1957.
Have you ever wondered, “What is Love?
A Blooming Rose that would never fade?”
What is Suddenly Revealed
Stirs Ups My Mind Hitting me Hard
The Blooming Rose I am Searching for
Is My Heart!
—Diana Guber, “The Love-Rose,” 2014.
58th International Red Cross Ball IN MAR-A-LAGO, PALM BEACH, 2015
“A king orders a great tent to be made. One servant winds the ropes, another sews the panels, another carves the anchor pins. How varied their activities, how united their intention, how single their task! Let us then walk with one and honour the others so that we may part from our sins, do good deeds and cause no divisions in the circle of the human family. Blessed Be.”
Using some of our own resources to assist others that have less than we do is inherently human and natural. It could be one of the most rewarding endeavors we all could pursue. One way we can give back to our communities and demonstrate a culture of giving is through volunteering. Another way to support our communities is through charitable donations. Donating to charity, however, is not about how much we do, but the thoughtfulness that comes with it, that can be an immensely gratifying experience. It is not just about flowers, music, and catered dinners but, above all, the feeling of satisfaction in our Soul.--Diana Guber at Mar-A-Lago, 2015, 58th International Red Cross Ball in Palm Beach.
