Today’s Poem: A Character a Poem by William Wordsworth
A Character
William Wordsworth
I marvel how Nature could ever find space
For so many strange contrasts in one human face:
There’s thought and no thought, and there’s paleness and bloom
And bustle and sluggishness, pleasure and gloom.
There’s weakness, and strength both redundant and vain;
Such strength as, if ever affliction and pain
Could pierce through a temper that’s soft to disease,
Would be rational peace—a philosopher’s ease.
There’s indifference, alike when he fails or succeeds,
And attention full ten times as much as there needs;
Pride where there’s no envy, there’s so much of joy;
And mildness, and spirit both forward and coy.
There’s freedom, and sometimes a diffident stare
Of shame scarcely seeming to know that she’s there,
There’s virtue, the title it surely may claim,
Yet wants heaven knows what to be worthy the name.
This picture from nature may seem to depart,
Yet the Man would at once run away with your heart;
And I for five centuries right gladly would be
Such an odd such a kind happy creature as he.

Transforming Grief into Joy: Embracing a Moment of Forever – Episode 91
Welcome to episode 91 of Dr. Ray Calabrese’s podcast, ‘Journey from Grief to Healing’ Dr. Ray shares how grief, though painful and difficult, is a journey that secures cherished memories as precious treasures within us. He urges listeners to refocus their perspective from the bitterness and anger that often accompany loss to the bountiful memories of love, joy, and shared experiences that endure as our ‘moment of forever’. Through the lens of Kris Kristofferson’s poignant lyrics in “A Moment of Forever,” we explore how the perception of life events shapes our personal happiness. Author Dean Koontz’s reflections in “Odd Hours” provide insight into the transformative power of grief, steering us from bitterness towards gratitude. As we navigate the complexities of loss, Rainer Maria Rilke’s wisdom encourages us to embrace life’s questions and live with purpose. Through heartfelt anecdotes of beloved companions like Gypsy the German Shepherd, we learn to cherish memories and find solace amidst sorrow. The episode concludes with a poignant reminder from theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, highlighting the transformative power of gratitude in turning the torment of memory into silent joy. Join us on this profound journey as we navigate the path from grief towards healing and gratitude.

Today’s Thought: Things That Matter
The easy way is usually the wrong way. At least that’s been my experience. At lot of it depends on what will satisfy us. I’ve seen talented people stop and their talent is essentially untapped. They didn’t realize that the easy way is usually the wrong way. The things that matter require certain things from us: Commitment, hard work, discipline, endurance, and a firm belief that what we’re pursuing is worthwhile. Things that matter don’t come easy, we have to work for them.

Today’s Poem: Five Senses by Judith Wright
Five Senses
Judith Wright
Now my five senses
gather into a meaning
all acts, all presences;
and as a lily gathers
the elements together,
in me this dark and shining,
that stillness and that moving,
these shapes that spring from nothing,
become a rhythm that dances,
a pure design.
While I’m in my five senses
they send me spinning
all sounds and silences,
all shape and color
as thread for that weaver,
whose web within me growing
follows beyond my knowing
some pattern sprung from nothing-
a rhythm that dances
and is not mine.
