Do not merely look out for your own personal interests
but also for the interests of others.

numbers
on the scale
numbers
on clock
our lives
are based on
numbers
it’s a very sobering thought
outnumbered
by numbers
is that who
we are
do numbers
tell us
that we
have come far
or not..
in life
that seems
to give
those with
high numbers
the number one spot..

i found out
he is musically inclined
this man child
of parents
perhaps someone’s
brother
i don’t know
but not necessarily meant
for me to know
but what i do
with what i see
i see much more
than what
a picture can portray
easy to see surface stuff
i see a need
for caring, for compassion
for kindness
and going the extra mile
and offering up some prayer
from someone
that is a mother..
yes, i do know their names.. when i see this dog, my heart melts
Thank you for playing a song for me…

Nothing like a walk to clear the mind..
make each day count
in some little way
leave yesterday behind
for this is a new day
don’t dwell on the negatives
for it won’t feed your soul
only zap you of energy
and down you will go
so look up today
from where your help comes
and be filled with the love
and the peace of the Son..

This weeks challenge at Daily Post is Broken. I find myself being eager to find out what the challenge is. When I do I go on a scavenger hunt of sorts, looking for what I may have on hand, that will work for the theme.
things break
people break
from loss
sorrow
regret
the ability to sing or play music
is temporarily gone
but the good news is that some things can be repaired
broken people
can heal..
broken people
can overcome..
broken people
can forgive..
broken people are forgiven
restored..
with nothing missing..nothing broken

Some days I don’t get beyond our backyard. It has become a little haven of peace, where I have been pouring my energy into. After the tragedy of Nepal and the loss of life I am thinking about what conveniences I could live without. My heart and prayers go out to all, that they will find peace and comfort in the midst of turmoil. That the volunteers stay strong and encouraged. That they be rewarded for the fruit of their labor. In my life the bee’s are buzzing, the sun shines, and the sky is blue. My little concerns are diminished to nothingness and I am content to just be in the present.
He gives beauty for ashes..
