šŸŒ¾ Today’s Poem ~ Peace

by

Peace

Alfred Noyes

Give me the pulse of the tide again
Ā  And the slow lapse of the leaves,
The rustling gold of a field of grain
Ā  And a bird in the nested eaves;

And a fishing-smack in the old harbour
Ā  Where all was happy and young;
And an echo or two of the songs I knew
Ā  When songs could still be sung.

For I would empty my heart of all
Ā  This world’s implacable roar,
And I would turn to my home, and fall
Ā  Asleep in my home once more;

And I would forget what the cities say,
Ā  And the folly of all the wise,
And turn to my own true folk this day,
Ā  And the love in their constant eyes.

There is peace, peace, where the sea-birds wheel,
Ā  And peace in the breaking wave;
And I have a broken heart to heal,
Ā  And a broken soul to save.

šŸ¤— A Better Life ~ It’s Time to Change Channels

Make today a 5 to 1 day. For every critical self thought, say aloud 5 positive thoughts about yourself. It’s time to turn off the negative voice who likes to criticize, shame, and condemn. It’s time to turn on the positive voice that sees your potential, your gifts, your amazing self.

šŸ’” Something to Think About

by

Birds are starting to return to south Texas from their winter migration. I see several species I haven’t seen since fall visiting my bird feeder. The birds have an inner guiding mechanism that signals when to head south and when to head north. I think we have an inner guiding mechanism. If we tune into it, it will Ā keep us on a straight and true flight path.
