Clean and Bright

Very much along the same lines as:

"People in glass houses ..."

is this snippet from George Bernard Shaw:

Better keep yourself

clean and bright.

You are the window

through which

you must see the world.

Smudge-free.

Streak-free.

Curtain-free.

Just Clean and Bright!

Listen

If you listen closely,

you will hear the plea

in the silence of a friend.

If you listen closely,

you will hear the happiness

of a beautiful sunrise.

If you listen closely,

you will hear the joy

of the abundant blessings.

If you listen closely,

you will hear the healing

of a simple, steadfast hug.

If you listen closely,

you will hear the love

that pours so thickly upon you.

If you listen closely,

you will hear the rustle of Angel wings

encompassing you in safety.

Goody Goody

Good actions give strength to ourselves

and inspire the good actions of others.

Plato

Today

Today is here!

Isn't it glorious?

This day will never come again.

Take a moment to care.

Let your voice uplift.

Let your actions inspire.

Be a friend.

Encourage someone.

Lend a hand.

Pray for others.

Share a smile.

Do the right thing.

Lighten someone's load.

Offer guidance.

Pray with others.

Share some knowledge.

Compliment often

and for no reason.

Be a blessing.

Enjoy Today!

Your Whole Self

Use your voice for kindness,

your ears for compassion,

your hands for charity,

your arms for hugging,

your mind for truth,

and your heart for love.

Shine

I used to be afraid 

of the dark

until I learned

that

I am a light

and

the dark

is afraid of me.

Shine, people.

Shine.
