What A Joy

All through the long winter,  I dream of my garden.  On the first day of spring,  I dig my fingers  deep into the soft earth.  I can feel its energy,  and my spirits soar.     Helen Hayes   What a joy it is to feel the soft, springy earth under my feet once more,     to follow grassy roads  that lead to ferny brooks    where I can bathe my fingers in a cataract of rippling notes,     or to clamber over a stone wall into green fields that     tumble and roll and climb  in riotous gladness!   Helen Keller Explore This Website

Compassion For All

The thought manifests the word; The word manifests the deed; The deed develops into habit; And habit hardens into character; So watch the thought  and its ways with care, And let them spring forth from love Born out of compassion for all beings. As the shadow follows the body,  as we think, so we become. Juan MascarĂ³ If humanity does not opt for integrity we are through completely.  It is absolutely touch and go.  Each one of us  could make the difference. R.
