Knowing any time we reach for kindness
and are blessed to have achieved it…
How it cost nothing for us to give it…
but was priceless to those who received it.

DAILY GRATITUDE HENRY JAMES
Today I’m grateful for the novelist Henry James….
perhaps because when it comes to this particular view
our thinking is aligned….
He said:
Three things in human life are important.
The first is to be kind.
The second is to be kind.
And the third …is to be kind.

DAILY GRATITUDE KINDNESS AND LOVE
Today I’m grateful for understanding
how the ripples of love and kindness with their constant motion
works very similarly to the waves upon the ocean…
If I send love and kindness out with the tide…
heading toward the horizon…out across the sea….
when the tide returns there’s a gook chance
love and kindness will find their way back to me....

DAILY GRATITUDE UNDERSTANDING LOVE AND HATEToday I’m grateful for understanding love and hate
and all the ties that bind them…
that whether we’re looking for reasons to love
or reasons to hate…
how easy it is to find them.
How, when love or hate are left free and unrestrained,
nothing can impede them…
and how the only way for either to grow
depends on how we...

My blanket of comfort My mother~
the reason my heart begins to beat,
my guardian angel,
my warm blanket of comfort.
In her care, my dreams take root and bloom.
She is my guiding light in every storm.
She is the song most suited to my dance,
the well of love, of kindness, care.
The only star in my ocean’s sky,
the reason I sparkle like sunlit gems,

If Not One Way, Then AnotherThanks for another day
Others curse their luck, stale breath
Eventually our enemy becomes our brother
Cancer checkup, another swinging dick who fears his death
To not necessarily sacrifice each and every day for another day
I’m going to go to my grave unsung like almost everyone
Numerous number systems beyond the real
Look one way, from another come the heart’s...

The Language of Presence
The scene arrived like a stone,
sinking in the quiet pond of my morning.
My niece, laughter still echoing in my memory,
gone.
The wake, a blur of hushed condolences,
faces swimming in a sea of shared sorrow.
And then, you were there.
Not with grand pronouncements,
not with awkward, empty words.
You simply stood beside me.
Though we talked about each other's nostalgic moments...

THANKSI owe it all to you
That helped me get through it
In my life, you were always there
It was such a great life to share
Sure in my life there were times
I was scared
But it was all my love for you
That I always declared
Sure there were a lot of laughs
But in the end, we always found that...
