The Golden Hall

Copyright 2009 by Stefan Bolz

I see a great golden hall perched high on top of a hill with white marble walls and golden pillars in front. There is an engravement above the large wooden entrance door. It says: The Call For Love. Inside the great hall, mounted to one of the walls, is a large, thick plate of gold. Thereon is written:

The call for love is made and answered for all by all.
The names are legion. But behind each one is the same
fervent call for God. The call takes many shapes, appears
in many religions, colors, cultures, languages, and countries.
You can find it everywhere. In every pain and fear, in every hurt
and hurting, in every friend and foe, in everything that lives
and everything that seems to have no life at all. It is in you
as well as it is in me. It is in your father, in your mother, in your
sister, and your brother, in your son and in your daughter; in
your policeman, your major, your car mechanic, your carpenter
and your president; It is in prisoners and guards, in soldiers, in
husbands and wives, in doctors and lawyers, in rich men and poor.
It is in everything because it is in you. The shape does not matter.
It may conceal the call but onlyif you wish it so. The call is there,
present always, waiting to be answered so that peace can come to
every heart, so that love can make a home throughout the world
at last. The call for love is made and answered for all by all, from
you to everyone and from everyone to you.
