your output
to the universe
comes back to you
like a "Return to Sender" mail.
if you treat people
with utmost respect and dignity,
they'll reciprocate;
treasure in, treasure out.
the same can be said
of maltreatment,
it's always repaid in kind;
garbage in, garbage out.
it's a fair trade,
every time.
in this cruel, savage world,
sprinkle in a handful of tenderness.
one is infinitely better off
trading meanness
with kindness.
it's much easier being...
a good human being.
it's far from expensive;
buy into it, it costs
less than a penny!

- not a Wake, infinitely better -
awake again this day, a miracle! O gratitude
Awaking (a choice to make)
Repeat the past, Recycle Me, or At Last
Recall Living Words
II
Awaking each day. Stop recycling away
Especially hurts. Words like swords.
Say:
I thank the Universe
In halting prayers or living Verse
To wake up is simply an Awakening
This should be happening
Each time we are born again from naps
Jesus: You have changed me: With me in the gaps
III
The great choice before us each day
Is to begin with "I Pray -
I will be grateful today
No one owes me this 24-hour New Day
Addictions, old worries. Away!
Words of Life, think them, not of yesterday
The Universe is waiting to blow us away" shalom shalom
