Exaltation

Any act of love, should aim at the exaltation of our fellow Man and never at his disgrace!

I am ecstatic that that happened for you, Demetrios! You know what my name means ... what does your Greek name mean? :)

My name comes from three words:1. Da=archaic for earth 2. Meter=mother and 3, Yios = Son thus Demetrios means : Son of Mother Earth! thank you my friend!

Human nature often longs to override and overpower other people ... but our heavenly nature longs to raise people up above us. As a mirror you are doing a wonderful job of reflecting that most brightest of lights. Enjoy your monoku poetry.

Timothy, my friend, today I wanted to take the day off BUT when I received your comment I felt that I should write because of your kind comment, therefore, the three poems of today belong to your ( His) intervention through you! Thank you so much for it!

If it leads to disgrace that is indeed a sad affair.

With any "act of love" I mean also helping someone! Thank you Richard!

- Love opens up doors that have been closed with a chain and lock - The more we give, the more we will get back :) - I wish you a lovely day, my friend - Best wishes & hugs // Anne-Lise :)

True, my friend, Anne-Lise! When we give though we have to it in such a way as to honor the one who accepts our help and not to diminish him in any way! Thank you so much, my friend, you so kind!
