I found this poem the other day and couldnt resist writing it down multiple places. i took all the parts i loved to make it what you read today! i hope you relish in it for a bit and smile. God is good and we are blessed.
"...Behold, I say -- behold, the reliability and the finery and the teachings of this gritty earth gift...
Eat bread and understand comfort.
Drink water and understand delight...
Look, and look again, this world is not just a thrill for the eyes.
It's more than bones.
It's more than the delicate wrist with its personal pulse.
It's more than the beating of a single heart.
It's praising.
It's giving until giving feels like receiving.
You have a life -- just imagine that!
You have this day, and maybe another, and maybe still another...
We do one thing or another; we stay the same or we change.
Congradulations, if you have changed...
And if you have not been enchanted by this andventure -- Your life --
What would do for you?...
And I have become the child of clouds, of hope.
I have become the friend of the enemy, whoever that is.
I have become older and, cherishing what I have learned,
I have become younger...
And what do I risk to tell you this, which is all I know?...
Love yourself.
Then forget it.
Then, love the world."
