New Growth with Kindness



 Can you see them?
There is new growth in the garden.
Daffodils will soon abound and delight.
 How did they know to come out and shine.
So recently there was a foot of snow covering them in a blanket of white.
Yet, here is pink hellebore in the garden to delight.
 Grape hyacinths peeking through the Autumn leaves.
 Crocus too!

Are you listening and noticing this time of new beginnings?
Do you sit in silence and send prayers and love to those around you?
How are we growing under a blanket so dark?
Surround yourself with those you love,
send prayers to your country and neighbors and friends,
share with others even if it is a kind word or a meal,
send glimmers of sunshine with a bouquet of flowers
or a cup of tea.
What other ways can I add to this list?
Simple things can change someone's world.

Let our lights shine with kindness and delight.
HAPPY WEEKEND, dear friends!
