On Saturday, June 29, 2016, a Pride event was held in Helsinki and nearly 100,000 people marched in the spirit of love in rainbow colors. My friend sent me the song Toive kaikilla sama (All have the same desire) performed by Jorma Uotinen, which is about the desire of man to be loved by someone.
When I read the Bible in the early 1980s, a word that urged people to remember God whenever they see a rainbow in the sky stuck into my mind. When I see rainbow flags flutter I have an association with the rainbow. The rainbow reminds me of God’s love and my love for God. It is an uninterrupted connection to the consciousness of the universe. We do not have to “desire to be loved by someone” and look for approval from the world. When we have a connection with our inner being, our inner navigator, to our true self, it generates the feeling of basic trust that gives us courage we need to go forward. It is a huge competitive advantage everywhere we go. We are at home also on a foreign soil when we are out of our comfort zone.
[toggle title=”All have the same desire (lyrics)”]Man has a face
eyes, ears, nose and mouth
arms, legs and body
Sometimes something of these is missing
Many colors, tempers and languages
Many sizes, forms and views
But all have the same desire
to be loved by someone
But all have the same desire
to be loved by someone
There are two kind of people
men and women
boys and girls
and some in between
Many colors, tempers and languages
Many sizes, forms and views
But all have the same desire
to be loved by someone
But all have the same desire
to be loved by someone
There are always people
poor and rich
sick and healthy
and many in between
Many colors, tempers and languages
Many sizes, forms and views
But all have the same desire
to be loved by someone
But all have the same desire
to be loved by someone
We are people
young and old
people, who look old
can be younger than young inside
Many colors, tempers and languages
Many sizes, forms and views
But all have the same desire
to be loved by someone
But all have the same desire
to be loved by someone
