This was in my reader the other day. Similar to yesterday’s re-blog, it made sense when I read it. Children look to us, in various adult roles, to guide them and help them find their path. Rest our hands gently on their shoulder as they walk their path.

This is one of those common sense lists we run across. I said to myself, “I knew this.” It is one thing to know and another to be these things. It is one of those lists worth sharing, printing, and letting touch me each day.

If each day, I did small things to be a better peacemaker, healer, restorer, lover and tell stories that make the world better and healthier it could make a small and incremental difference.

Each wisdom tradition has its guiding principles for life. And they make sense and when taken together form a powerful message that underlying it all we share more than not.

This is a beautiful quote from Hafiz a Sufi mystic. Sometimes, I just need to slow down, pause, and the astonishing light of my own being is revealed.

The theme of the past week or more seems to have been silence. This is a beautiful poem on that them, as well and begins the day for me,.

This a good way to begin the day. What is happiness today?
