Today’s Poem ~ The Hope of Loving

The Hope of Loving

Meister Eckhart

What keeps us alive, what allows us to endure?

I think it is the hope of loving,
or being loved.

I heard a fable once about the sun going on a journey
to find its source, and how the moon wept
without her lover’s
warm gaze.

We weep when light does not reach our hearts. We wither
like fields if someone close
does not rain their
kindness
upon
us.

or being loved.

to find its source, and how the moon wept
without her lover’s
warm gaze.

We weep when light does not reach our hearts. We wither
like fields if someone close

kindness

Today’s Health Tip ~ Dark Leafy Greens = Healthy Choice

Dark leafy greens, such as kale, spinach, and Swiss chard, tend to top health experts’ lists. Bursting with vitamins A, K, and C, kale is also a great source of calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium. Whether you toss it into soups, smoothies, or salads, gobble as much of this stuff as you can every day.

Today’s Power Thought ~ Searching for the Truth

Who hollers the loudest doesn’t make something true. Search for the truth by examining the evidence.

Today’s Good Word ~ Beauty

Beauty Surrounds Us

Beauty is in roadside flowers and roses at the rose garden.

Beauty is in the smile of an infant.

Beauty is in the laughter of children.

Beauty is in the joyful exuberance of young people.

Beauty is the eyes of lovers.

Beauty is stars in the night sky.

Beauty is in the words we hear when someone says, ‘I love you.’

Yes, Beauty Surrounds Us.

Something to Think About

A person with an open mind may not always be right or make the right decisions, but he/she has a better chance of getting it right than someone with a closed mind. A closed mind is the product of fear of evidence or new ways of thinking. An open mind is the product of wonder, questioning and searching for truth.
