Friends of Mine
Good-morning, Brother Sunshine,
Good-morning, Sister Song, I beg your humble pardon
If you’ve waited very long.
I thought I heard you rapping, To shut you out were sin,
My heart is standing open, Won’t you
walk
right in?
Good-morning, Brother Gladness, Good-morning, Sister Smile,
They told me you were coming, So I waited on a while.
I’m lonesome here without you, A weary while it’s been,
My heart is standing open, Won’t you
walk right in?
Good-morning, Brother Kindness, Good-morning, Sister Cheer,
I heard you were out calling, So I waited for you here. Some way, I keep forgetting
I have to toil or spin
When you are my companions, Won’t you
walk right in?
James W. Foley.

Silence ~ A Poem by Hafiz
Silence
A day of Silence
Can be a pilgrimage in itself.
A day of Silence
Can help you listen
To the Soul play
Its marvellous lute and drum.
Is not most talking
A crazed defence of a crumbling fort?
I thought we came here
To surrender in Silence,
To yield to Light and Happiness,
To Dance within
In celebration of Love’s Victory!
Today’s Quote by Mr. Rogers on Your Inner Goodness
“If only you could sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.”
– Fred Rogers
Today’s Quote by Albert Schweitzer on Happiness & Success

On Nature ~ Poem by Basho
I am one

Living a Meaningful Life
Thoughts by Alan Watts
We must abandon completely the notion of blaming the past for any kind of situation we’re in and reverse our thinking and see that the past always flows back from the present. That now is the creative point of life. So you see it’s like the idea of forgiving somebody, you change the meaning of the past by doing that…Also, watch the flow of music. The melody as its expressed is changed by notes that come later. Just as the meaning of a sentence…you wait till later to find out what the sentence means…The present is always changing the past.

You Will Find Your Way Home.” – Rumi
