STRANGERS?

Just because I do not know you
or I am not familiar with you,
does that make you a stranger?

What does it mean to know someone
to be familiar with them?
When I am around strangers
am I thinking they are strange?

Or am I thinking you are like me.
You too are blessed.
We were both created by the Ultimate
in love, as love and to generate love.

I may not know your name.
I may never have spoken to you
or had anything to do with you,
but I may know that you are blessed
and therefore you are not a stranger

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Do you bring the spirit of laughter into the room

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

What are you giving more of

BLESSED ARE THE STRANGERS

I don’t know you.
I have never seen you.
We have never met.
However, today I saw you.
We may not have spoken
or interacted
in any way, shape, or form.
However, I do know we are
blessed.

I remember this day when
I saw a stranger and smiled.
Our eyes connected and
I said hello, and told her
have a great day.
I met her again
years later when she told me
you saved my life.
I hope you know
you are blessed.

We meet strangers
all the time
We do not know that
each opportunity is a
chance to bless and be blessed.
Blessed are we and
blessed are they as
we are strangers to each other.

WISDOM

How do I know what I know
I know because others taught me.

I learned from
the people I have met
those who have loved me
and those who have not.

I learned from the
cats, dogs, hamsters,
and other animals
which have come into my life.

I learned from those
who strove to teach me
and those who did not

I learned from those who
provided opportunities
to grow,
to experience
to appreciate
and to honor.

I learned from those
who were hateful
hurtful,
and harmful

In all this I found
wisdom;
that priceless gift
which has blessed me.
So today I bless those
who have shown me wisdom.
I bless those who have helped me
deepen my relationship
with the world
I bless all who have brought me wisdom

BE SILLY!

Be silly!
The message came loud and clear.
Be silly!
Silly is selig
Selig is blessed.
Be silly.
Silliness can be sacred
So be silly.
