🌾 Today’s Poem ~No Man is an Island
No Man is an Island
John Donne
No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend’s
Or of thine own were:
Any man’s death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.
🤗 A Better Life ~ Hospitality is Love in Action
My parents’ door was always open to neighbors, friends, and relatives. When someone knocked, they were invited in and my mom insisted they have coffee and a piece of cake or pie. My dad would come from the living room and they all sat at the kitchen table. Hospitality is a big deal. It makes others feel welcomed, valued, and loved.
