Our thoughts, words and actions can demonstrate what is beneficial.

Everyone and everything is blessed when we are doing only what is good for all.


Let us all learn to do no harm to ourselves and one another.

Let us all remember to treat one another with respect toward everyone.

Let us all forgive the ways we have unconsciously been hurtful.

We can together be loving reminders for co-creative helpful world. 


Trusting us to live with kindness and respect.

You Are A Flower in the Garden of Life


If you would grow to be your best self

Be patient, not demanding

Accepting, not condemning

Nurturing, not withholding

Self-marveling, not belittling

Gently guiding, not pushing & punishing

 

For you are more sensitive than you know

Mankind is tough as war

Yet delicate as flowers

We can endure agonies

But we open fully only to warmth & light

And our need to grow is fragile as a fragrance

Dispersed by storms of will

To return only when those storms are still

 

So accept, respect,

Attend your sensitivity

 

A flower

Cannot be opened

With a hammer
