Today.

Today, I will strive to carry a smile on my face as a reminder that life is good.

Today, I will give gratitude in silence and with spoken words for the gift of life.

Today, I will find a way to give to life something good from within myself.

peace

While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart. 
~ Saint Francis of Assisi

peace and love

Peace starts individually within us, and is reached out through love to those around us. 

Give love, and receive peace.

Great Spirit Father, Mother Earth

The Great Spirit is in all things, he is in the air we breathe. The Great Spirit is our Father, but the Earth is our Mother. She nourishes us, that which we put into the ground she returns to us. ~ Big Thunder (Bedagi) Wabanaki Algonquin

the flower

I stooped 

to observe a flower

its brilliant, radiant colors

shone like the sun

its petals shaped like

a star in the heavens

and with the depth of a valley

with tentacles like 

an octopus

capped with seats 

befitting insects

and with a smell like

nothing than to itself.

This is your day, this is your time — shine on.

Very little is needed to make a happy life: it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. ~ Marcus Aurelius
