Happy Heart

Let the mending of a broken,heavy, hardened heart begin. If I can help heal an open wound or scabbed-over scar with a simple gesture of kindness, then damage control is underway. *Let me understand this correctly, how crucial and powerful the moment is, to step forward in such a way that lights-up the darkness.

To lament about the power of love is one thing, to live it inside out and cultivate the elements of love, is another. To practice the art of love is to constantly adapt and modify, to be patient, kinder, gentler than the time before. Repair is within our means, so simple, so doable in theory yet easier to dismiss the necessity of taking care of a sloppy attitude which renders a blurred perception, that plunges into a harsh place in words or deeds.

We do so much better with one another when we seize the opportunity any reason or no reason at all to make life more livable and lovable. The quality of life improves immensely it is a smoother ride and easier to take when a weary heart is made to feel better, lifted, polished, stronger for the wear and tear. Behold ~ Love from our hearts and souls makes life beautiful, worth living. What may have been a sad heart is once again happy, revived because of love.

October

There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October ~

Nathaniel Hawthorne

Places Of The Heart

Here's to the superb, strange, wonderful, mysterious and sublime. To the things that make sense and the moments of enlightenment when they don't. To people and pets who make life livable and lovable. To art, science, space, time and places of the heart that can only be described as glimpses of heaven, where the sound of a baby cooing makes cherub angels blush with delight, where joy is like oxygen and peace is the most powerful weapon on the planet.

Here's to light in the darkness, understanding for the misunderstood and prayers for deliverance from a painful journey. To a good path to navigate and the strength, health and faith to take you where it leads you. Here's to a good life, good people and people trying to be good, for a clear view of everything we hold near, honor and cherish.

For this world of wonder one prays for resolution of wars, conflict, unrest. To consolation, comfort, kindness and a humanity that strives for justice and equality, for priceless, timeless love, compassion, respect and landmark times in life that make us pause to reflect on such places of the heart.

Happiness

On the other hand; if it brings you joy

by simply pursuing happiness

then what a great thing to chase

for no other reason than to be happy.
