When you're criticizing others, And are finding, here and there, A fault or two to speak of Or a weakness you can tear: When you're blaming some one's weakness, Or accusing some of pelf - It's time that you went out To take a walk around yourself.
There's lots of human failures In the average of us all, And lots of grave short comings In the short ones and the tail; But when we think of evils Men should lay upon the shelves, It's time we all went out To take a walk around ourselves.
We need so often in this life This balancing of scales, This seeing how much in us wins And how much in us fails; But before you judge another - Just to lay him on the shelf - It would be a splendid plan To take a walk around yourself.
HAPPY EASTER "Easter is the only time when it’s perfectly safe to put all your eggs in one basket." – Evan Esar
Stand close to the people who understand suffering
but who cling to the truth . These people are the
greatest allies of the wounded; these people are the
ones who faithfully dispense both compassion and
challenge at the times we need then most.
Throw a single ray of light across the darkened path
of another, Happy Trails . Blessings and Love Friend
Rather than trying to destroy the darkness, create more light.
Rather than trying to destroy hate with hate, create more love.
Rather than trying to destroy the ignorant, provide information.
Rather than trying to destroy ideas you dislike, spread the ones you do.
Rather than being upset about the messy drawer, clean it out.
Rather than focusing on people and news you don't like, create more love by focusing on those you do.
You can squander your lives trying to tear down those with whom you disagree or you can put your time to good use by empowering those you love. Choose love, dear friends. Choose life. Choose creation over destruction. You will be the ones who benefit from such endeavors, and your world will benefit as well.
