With a little basket of flowers outside your door, I greet you.
When I was a child we celebrated May 1 by giving your neighbors a small bouquet of flowers.
We made paper baskets to hang on door knobs filled with dandelions and whatever flowers we could find.
We delighted in the creation, the giving, the surprise and the wonder of it all.
Where have all the flowers gone…..long time passing……
Where has the freedom gone….with no fear.
Where has the joy gone…..in freely giving.
Where has the love gone…..in knowing we are all here …together.
Inviting you to join me today in sharing love with someone you know, who needs to know.
Encouraging you to join with me to give something special to a stranger, who needs to remember.
Hoping you will join me in surprising someone whom you may miss with a call or a note of love.
Calling you to join me today in bringing back traditions of kindness, respect and gratitude.
You make all the difference in the world.
You make an amazing difference in my heart.
You give me strength to carry on, to continue the traditions of Loving everyone as One.
You lift me up with your willingness to return to Love, always remembering to Love the Gift You Are.
Every time any One of us remembers, you are reminding all of us.
Any time you give a smile, a hug, a word of love to any one, you are loving us all.
Each time you take time for yourself to find peace within and express joy without, you are blessing us all.
You are leading, teaching, touching us all with your loving kindness, your gentleness and respect.
Are you willing to be the One?
Are you willing to carry on?
Are you willing to continue to do the “right” things?
Are you willing to rise above the world of forgetfulness?
Each person, no matter the age, education or qualifications, deserves to be loved.
Every one on the planet has a right to grow up with responsibilities and freedoms.
All of us can join to reclaim the best of the past and the amazing possibilities of the future.
We are the ones who have come to heal and let go of what was and live today being all that we are.
How little it takes to offer a warm smile or word of kind greeting.
How good it feels to offer courtesy and respect to each one you encounter.
How powerful it is to correct all errors in your mind with forgiveness now.
How helpful it is to let others learn from their own mistakes and to teach by example.
Life is a learning laboratory…..each one experimenting with what works for us.
Life is a healing place…each one learning to let go of what hurts ourselves and others.
Life is a creative space….each one exploring how to create the beauty, goodness and Love we want.
Life is an unlimited opportunity…..each one free to enjoy, to imagine, to build and achieve.
Now is your time to give the piece you are here to be and do and have.
Why not? It hurts no one and helps everyone.
Let us go for it with the joyous enthusiasm of an innocent child,
I choose to allow my life to be inspired and inspiring by being and giving all that I AM.
Loving you with my simple basket of flowers hung on your heart,
Betty Lue
