Sometimes, just a small spark of empathy
Can brighten up another’s mind to see
The value of love and understanding
To lift the weight of negativity
For darker thoughts and doubts debilitate
And obstruct the path that leads us to heal...
We must shine our love to illuminate
The path that love and compassion reveal!
Don’t ignore those in spiritual need
Because the deepest of our wounds don’t bleed
They thrive wherein silence is the weapon
That amputates hope the soul sorely needs
A smile looks nice, but try on compassion
It’s transformative attire for the heart...
For suffering without understanding
Strips a soul bare while it tears love apart.
Help us to be the always hopeful gardeners of the spirit
who know that without darkness
nothing comes to birth
as without light
nothing flowers. ~ May Sarton
And
empower us to become
the always natural gardeners
mindful of cooperative metaphysical spirits
cultivating sun lightened days
and calming Earth empowering nights
Aware that with only darkness
every relationship comes to degeneration
Aware that with only light
nothing comes to full-term healthy fruition
Aware that with no light
nothing regenerates fertile blossoms
Aware that with no darkness
no silence
no winter
no deep sacred listening,
nothing roots uniting empathy
or transformative change
toward growing fresh
and wholesome integrity
Of sacred plants
with their people
sharing this EarthGarden planet.
In robes of empathy, a judge should stand,
Learning mental struggles, extending a hand,
Understanding the pipeline's unjust strife,
For underprivileged souls, a chance at life.
No bail bondsman's grip, a system redefined,
Where fairness and justice are closely aligned,
Juveniles, tender hearts, scarred by the past,
Guidance and understanding, to heal and hold fast.
With wisdom and care, these wounds they'll address,
Through patient discussions, the pain they'll assess,
No father figure's absence to define their fate,
But mentorship and love, helping them navigate.
A courtroom transformed, compassion as a guide,
Breaking chains of injustice, where destinies collide,
Each decision made, reflects a compassionate art,
A judge who mends souls and mends every heart.
Went in bone dry
Came out all wet
Before my next shower
I'm placing a bet
Faith is the transformative power of the universe
Faith breeds trust and complete dependence
Trust brings contentment
Contentment measures level of success
No one is perfect
God does not seek to use perfect beings
To work in His vineyard
It is only faith that pleases God
This is time to march for God
It is also time to march with God
Cause the devil is on the prowl
Seeking to connect us to himself through our weaknesses
Let the power of God fall upon men of goodwill
Like on the day of Pentecost
To make them available
Cause to know God’s presence is to know His power
