Afternoon Reflections.....

When time comes for us to again rejoin the infinite stream of waterflowing to and from the great timeless ocean, our little droplet of soulful water will once again flow with the endless stream.-   William E. Marks, The Holy Order Of Water

The breeze is blowing,

it is cool like the first taste of ice-cream on a hot Summer day.

The leaves are dancing in their own

jazz like fashion, moving and swaying

as the mystical wind comes underneath them and lifts them up.

I have never understood the Wind--and believe me I have tried---

 I don't understand it anymore than I understand God

and

while this scientific mind of mine

has wrestled with the ultimate question

"where do either of them come from"

I realize once again....

I will never comprehend the mystical wonder of our world, of the wind, or the nature of the "Thing"--the Creative Energy of the Universe--otherwise known as God.

It just

'is what it is' and we either accept that we humans just can't understand it all---or we drive ourselves mad trying to fathom the impossible.   Tonight I surrender to the impossible--IT  IS!

The birds are singing their goodnight hymn,

and

the rumble of the neighbors lawn mower moves the smell of freshly mown grass across my deck.

The sun,

she is going down,

shining on my legs that are propped up

on the table, warming my spirit if you will--soon the sky will change colors and after awhile,

her light will fade as she says hello to the moon.

IT moves through me

the way the wind lifts the leaves

pulling me upward,

moving me,

stirring something inside..

I don't know what it is yet

but

I will listen.

The symphony continues as I savor it,

the sweet sounds mixing

and swirling and

moving,

atoms bumping into each other,

jostling,

jumping across nerve synapses

entertaining my ears

awakening my senses.

A calmness falls over me

and

the muscles of my body begin to feel tired.

But before I turn in tonight,

I wonder?

Did I help anyone today?

Did you?

Did I promote more positive than negative?

Did you?

Did I smile to the one who needed a smile?

Did you?

Did my hug matter?

I strive everyday to live a bit fuller,

by offering the world

something ....

As i perused

the blogs tonight,

I came upon this link

 http://kindnessgirl.com/2012/05/15/theyre-back/

at kindness girl,

the place where kindness matters.

She has come up with a new innovative way to

change the world

a sticker at a time.

I wonder what might happen,

if the next time

we heard that "God Whisper in our Ear"

and

acted.

Reached across the hallway and shook a hand,

gave a smile,

offered cookies to the widow man across the street how it might change us and how it could change the world,

Kindness matters,

it changes us,

moves us out of our self

and

breaks open the barriers that keep us contained and imprisoned.

Why not give it a try...order a few.....

and see

how it changes others and how it just might change you....

The Sun rays shine,

the wind,

it swirls,

the tiny drops of water that fell from the sky yesterday,

have left the leaves and headed to the sky,

and

the cycle

it continues

we

and

only we

can take the chance

to do something different

and

change the world,

one sticker,

one smile,

one fragment of hope at a time.

Listen to your God whisper---what does it say?

yes...the space is for you to answer the question---

what does it say?

What holds you back?

Go on

be brave

as the afternoon session of Sacred worship ends,

do it....

show a little kindness and change the world.

hugs...go on hug me back!!!!
