And now for something completely different.....

*WORDS*

This is a place to put some very important (we think) words:



~DO IT ANYWAY~
People are often unreasonable,
Illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind,
People may accuse you of selfish,
ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful,
You will win some false friends
and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,
People may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building,
Someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,
They may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,
People will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,
And it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,
It is between you and God;
It never was between you and them anyway.

Thought for Yesterday
by John MacEnulty

True humility is such a gentle thing, warm,
pleasant to be with.
I love the kind, gentle beings of my world,
the ones who bless, encourage,and nurture.
What I learn from them is to be like them.
So my craving is for this sweetness, the affirming warmth
of acceptance, caring, and kindness.
When the ego steps aside there is a light that
shines from within.
You could think it comes from the eyes,
or from the soft smile.
Or perhaps it would seem to be a way of touching,
or the tone of the voice.
It travels by way of these things, but comes
from a deeper place:
the stillness of a soul at peace, the calm of resolution,
the love that knows itself.
So when you see this in the world, embrace it.
Offer yourself.
Follow this teacher.
Become a reflection.
Then the source.
