If we can hold onto one another for just a moment longer than usual; if we can synchronize our hearts to beat in unison. If we can feel love in the breath of a whisper as it brushes past our ears. And hear the words that sometimes go left unsaid. If we can honor, truly honor, the essence of someone else's spirit and respect one another's need to be understood. Then maybe, just maybe, we have accomplished everything there was to do today.

Setting an Intention
If we can hold onto one another for just a moment longer than usual; if we can synchronize our hearts to beat in unison. If we can feel love in the breath of a whisper as it brushes past our ears. And hear the words that sometimes go left unsaid. If we can honor, truly honor, the essence of someone else's spirit and respect one another's need to be understood. Then maybe, just maybe, we have accomplished everything there was to do today.

Now, THERE is some food for thought. I sometimes think that in our quest to make sure WE are the ones who are understood, we forget that others have that same need. I think it seems like a really good time for many of us to start to try to be a little less me-centered and a little more we-centered. If I am able to do this, you will deserve LOTS of credit :).
As always, Deb, you are the BEST!
lOVE AND HUGS!!!
This is so hard: "respect one another's need to be understood" when the ego competes to trump and win. I try to think about every word you post, and not breeze past it as poetry. Sometimes, it's my devotion for the day!
I need to stop in here EVERY day for that little bit of wisdom that keeps me sane.

You cut to the chase, pure and simple. Yes, that is all that ever needs to be accomplished, every day, any day. Thank you for the gentle reminder.
You give us the best photos and inspiration. Thank you!
What a gorgeous post. I think you need to put your thoughts together is some sort of bound daily affirmation/meditation book. This one I could read over and over. xxoo
Simply put and yet so beautiful!
