Tears are a river that takes you somewhere…Tears lift your boat off the rocks, off dry ground, carrying it downriver to someplace better. ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes
river
Today’s Quote: Change is Inevitable
No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man. Heraclitus time is it
Ask Me ~ A Poem by William Safford
Ask Me
William Safford
Some time when the river is ice ask me
mistakes I have made. Ask me whether
what I have done is my life. Others
have come in their slow way into
my thought, and some have tried to help
or to hurt: ask me what difference
their strongest love or hate has made.
I will listen to what you say.
You and I can turn and look
at the silent river and wait. We know
the current is there, hidden; and there
are comings and goings from miles away
that hold the stillness exactly before us.
What the river says, that is what I say.
For a Child ~ A Poem by Fannie Stearns Davis
For a Child
Fannie Stearns Davis
Your friends shall be the Tall Wind,
The River and the Tree;
The Sun that laughs and marches,
The Swallows and the Sea.
Your prayers shall be the murmur
Of grasses in the rain;
The song of wildwood thrushes
That makes God glad again.
And you shall run and wander,
And you shall dream and sing
Of brave things and bright things
Beyond the swallow’s wings.
And you shall envy no man,
Nor hurt your heart with sighs,
For I will keep you simple
That God may make you wise.
Photo of the Day ~ Small Kindnesses Add Up
Each small act of kindness
may seem like a tiny drop
They add up and soon there is a river of kindness
Think About It ~ Don’t Worry
Our personal river takes many a turn, in the end it ALWAYS ends up where it is supposed to end up. Not to worry.
