O God, I thank You for this day of life for eyes to see the sky for ears to hear the birds for feet to walk amidst the trees for hands to pick the flowers from the earth for a sense of smell to breathe in the sweet perfumes of nature for a mind to think about and appreciate the magic of everyday miracles for a spirit to swell in joy at Your mighty presence everywhere. Marian Wright Edelman
The best portion of a good man's life - his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love. ~William Wordsworth
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. ~Leo Buscaglia
The first and highest law must be the love of man to man. Homo homini Deus est - this is the supreme practical maxim, this is the turning point of the world's History. ~Ludwig Feuerbach, The Essence of Christianity
The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit. ~Nelson Henderson Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day. ~Quoted in P.S. I Love You, compiled by H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. ~Dalai Lama Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again. ~Og Mandino Sometime in your life, hope that you might see one starved man, the look on his face when the bread finally arrives. Hope that you might have baked it or bought or even kneaded it yourself. For that look on his face, for your meeting his eyes across a piece of bread, you might be willing to lose a lot, or suffer a lot, or die a little, even. ~Daniel Berrigan A handful of pine-seed will cover mountains with the green majesty of a forest. I too will set my face to the wind and throw my handful of seed on high. ~Fiona MacLeod
Circle of Light
I'm not right
And you're not wrong
I don't know what this love
of ours is built upon
We are shadows
Tiny sparrows
Safe inside
Clear blue sky
Of another storm
Moving in and out of time
In and out of the Circle of life
We are children of the angels
Keepers of the fire
We are children of the angels
Reaching for the light
We are not Strangers
We are all brothers
I know we came here to love each other
Here, in the circle of life
Each one thinks
He has the answer
Each believes that he can see
The way, the only way
Truth lies waiting
Was always waiting
Like a love
A peaceful dove
Right there inside your soul
From another place and time
Moving into a circle of light
Bearing Gifts
You are gift-wrapped Unwrap yourself now. Let your gifts spill to the floor and all over the world.
Watch how your kindness transforms this cruel world. See how your love heals fear. Notice how your courage inspires us all.
Let your smile release this old sad world. Give everyone you meet the star in your eye. Shine your light. Open your heart.
Notice how your peace of mind makes any war more meaningless and harder to fight.
Your happiness is a gift. It attracts angels from afar. Your smile is like champagne. Your laughter is like love. Your healing inspires us. Your presence is a miracle. Unwrap yourself now. -- Robert Holden, taken from Shift Happens.
A kind word takes only a minute to speak;but its echo is endless."
"To live in the presence of great truths and eternal laws, to be led
by permanent ideals - that is what keeps a man patient when the world
ignores him, and calm and unspoiled when the world praises him."
