Small act of kindness is worth a month of heartlessness. One generous
gesture can make up for a season of selfishness. One precious moment of
understanding can repair a of ignorance. There is though, no need to
be sparing with the currency of compassion. if nobody ever gives you
credit for it, the heart has access to a self-replenishing supply. We get
by on a small amount of sincerity in much the same way as we can learn
to survive on starvation rations. Start liking and being kind to yourself now,
and you will find that the sky is not just offering the chance to enjoy a
brief moment of magic but to commence a process that provides plenty
of future fulfillment. Treasure and protect that which is precious to you...
but don’t covet or cosset it. Trust that if something is truly right, you won’t
lose it, spoil it or miss out on it. Remember that there are two types of
caution. It is fine to sense a potential danger and to do whatever may help to
reduce it. It is bad though, to become anxious and insecure. You can end up
scared of your own shadow; forever attempting to fend off some half imagined
threat. Your current problem is not an emergency. So don’t turn it into one.
There are some things that we should not clutch too tightly, no matter how
much we want to hang on to them. If, for example, we hold in our hands an
egg with a delicate shell or a lovely shape made of malleable clay, the very
act of squeezing hard will destroy what we want to cherish. Admittedly,
then, we can say ’Oh well, that can’t have had much value. Look how easily
it perished’ - but it is better still, if we can be light and deft, to respect and
preserve the integrity of something fragile and precious. Be kind, be generous
and be compassionate. And don t be afraid of anything now.
Thank you, Jonathan
Hello Readers, Sorry about this goofy entry ... leaving you with partial sentences (did you even try to fill in the blanks?)...I'm working on cleaning this up. The Storyteller
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say I was at the Yellow Canary report today and decided to seek out blogs. I wanted to add yours to my blogroll. I really enjoy your writing and keep up the great work.
