How shall we invite
One another
To hold on
To the good
Glow inside
Not one of us goes
A day with escape
From choices
Encounters
That suggest otherwise
But Love is powerful
Kindness is wise
Step into your strength
Open fresh eyes
To a new day
New world
Possibilities
Paradise
Right here
In the now
Our planet provides
What we all
Indeed need
But greed
Is a poison
We could do
Without
What Love could this world
Harbor for us
We who behave
So cruelly
Not all of us though
Keep breathing so blinded
By trifles, distractions
Consuming the masses
Poverty isn’t a virtue
Poverty isn’t a vibe
Sometimes it just happens
Depending on your birth, right?
Or country
Context
Parents
Education
Access
Employment
But sometimes
It’s none of those
Sometimes it’s a way
Of seeing and being
MANY THANKS to all of you who have purchased and read my new little gift book, SENDING YOU MY LOVE – Little Thoughts on Life and Love! Part of your purchase has allowed me to make a donation to help children in great need in both Sri Lanka and South Africa– from all of us!
Through one of my favorite international aid organizations, Project COLORS, girls and boys living in children’s homes in Sri Lanka will have new shoes to protect their sweet little feet. And toddlers in South Africa will receive critical, immune-boosting nutrition to save their lives. To find out more about Project COLORS and these specific programs, please click any of the blue, linked text.
Why is this Important? We all have the power to touch this world for the better… one smile, one small act of kindness at a time. There’s no need to wait for tomorrow or the perfect situation to fulfill these calls to Love, that ring within all of our hearts. Small aid organizations like Project COLORS minimize overhead to maximize the reach of our good-will and donations. And these donations mean so much to many of our sisters, brothers, and friends in a rough spot.
