Yesterday afternoon while sweeping up
in the greenhouse where I work
I quite accidentally got a grasshopper caught up
in the broom
rather gravely too, I think
and felt so terribly terrible
apologizing to him over and over
I\u2019m so sorry, I\u2019m so sorry I\u2019m so sorry
the guilt of unintentional wounding stayed,
heavily
with me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ahimsa the practice of do no harm, based in simple (and not so simple)
kindness, speaks of
love
and this is my centre
where my heart
finds its true
home
to do no harm<\/p>\n\n\n\n
this day, and every day I send love
into the world
in ways that I can
and consciously offer up my gratitude
for that which I receive
this
also being a practice
of
loving kindness<\/p>\n\n\n\n
what I have to offer
today is
apologies and forgiveness,
kindness, love and
gratitude for all things
simple things
a dedication
to trying again another day
and again,
to doing
better
than the last <\/p>\n\n\n\n
