What if we
allow ourselves to be
drawn in to love
by goodness
not drawn in to hate
by malicious intent
to not celebrate in the disparity
of some
while in a fight for fair and just-ness
for all
what if we
think first
with hearts open
and act first, with mouths
closed
what if we
voluntarily took to the path
of
kindness in droves
and surrounded each other
in thoughts
of
well being
what if each day, we sent out to the world
letters of love
from secret admirers of
life and
living
shared with each other beautiful things
and simple things, forgiveness
mercy
and
grace
what if more often we said our I love you’s
to the living
and our thank you’s
to the gone
what if we each took a moment
to breathe
to look up at the vastness
of the sky
and remember that we ourselves
are divine
in
nature
how then, do
you think
you
would take your next step
in this world?
“A good deed doesn’t just evaporate and disappear. Its consequences saturate the universe and the goodness that happens somewhere, anywhere, helps in the transfiguration of the ugliness.”
~ Desmond Tutu
