🌞 Today’s Inspiration ~ Stars are Shining
“No darkness lasts forever. And even there, there are stars” ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
What is the Role of the Storyteller?
“The job of a storyteller is to speak the truth. But what we feel most deeply can’t be spoken in words alone. At this level, only images connect. And here, story becomes symbol; symbol is myth. And myth is truth.”
~ Alan Garner
💡 Something to Think About
Never allow another to define your self worth. Never allow another to choose your path. It takes courage to step away and step out. You know you are good and capable. You know where your heart is leading you.
🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Compassion
Compassion
Robert William Service
What puts me in a rage is
The sight of cursed cages
Where singers of the sky
Perch hop instead of fly;
Where lions to and fro
Pace seven yards or so:
I who love space of stars
Have hate of bars.
The sight of cursed cages
Where singers of the sky
Perch hop instead of fly;
Where lions to and fro
Pace seven yards or so:
I who love space of stars
Have hate of bars.
I wince to see dogs chained,
Or horses bit restrained;
Or men of feeble mind
In straight-jackets confined;
Or convicts in black cells
Enduring earthly hells:
To me not to be free
Is fiendish cruelty.
To me not to be kind
Is evil of the mind.
No need to pray or preach,
Let us our children teach
With every fond caress
Pity and gentleness:
So in the end may we
God’s Kingdom bring to be.

🍎 Today’s Health Question ~ Does a Lack of Omega 3 Cause Hair Loss?
Omega 3s are Important for Healthy Hair
Lack of omega-3 fatty acids in diets is a common cause for nutritional deficiency related hair loss, as stated by the University of Maryland Medical Center. . . . You can include omega-3 rich foods in your diet. For example, 3 ounces of cooked salmon contain 1.8 grams of DHA and EPA, and 1 ounce of walnuts and flaxseeds contains between 1 and 2 grams of ALA. The American Heart Association recommends eating 6 ounces of fish two times a week to achieve a beneficial effect of omega-3.
