PONDERINGS
The following are some ponderings from an online friend ... Chippewa
hope you enjoy them.
A strong, healthy tree is one which is free to grow straight and tall.
A weak tree often must lean against another for support.
It is not that
different with people.
This doesn't mean it isn't healthy to accept help.
Only when we are each strong enough to stand on our own can we
really share the kind of help which allows both helped and helper to be independent.
Have I been giving the right kind of help?
Beauty is everywhere. It is in the daisies, in the lavender
wildflowers, in the new green grass of spring.
As we walk
through life, such beauty strengthens us.
It reminds us of
the spiritual creative force alive in this world..creativity gains
power from beauty...a sunset helps us out of suffering to be
comforted and inspired by its splendour.
Such awesome
beauty, yet part of us!
What lessons can nature teach me today??
Kindness is among the gifts we can most easily spread among others.
The more we give of kind words and deeds, the more we discover that it
is like a burning candle which lights many others without losing a trace of
its own brightness.
No kindness is too small to win and hold the affection
of others because it is made up of gentleness, love, generosity,
unselfishness, and caring.
What kindness do I have to offer today?
There is a time of silence before anything creative is born.
And there is
silence in the mind before an idea is discovered.
A nest is a safe place birds can always return to and be at home.
We all need such a nest of silence--a place where we can be quiet and safe, where we can let ourselves be held, and rest.
Often, our best ideas come out of these quiet moments.
Times of silence are good for our souls.
How well will I use my quiet time today?
