An Open Letter

Chaff and Kneed Grain

“Pour out all of the contents of one’s heart,
chaff and grain together knowing the
gentleness of hands will take and sift it,
keep what is worth keeping and with a
breath of kindness, blow the rest away…”

 

Hi, it’s me again.

It only takes one cloud to block the light of the sun… In this time of uncertainties, technology brings convenience but ever-escalating expectations of productivity and 24/7 availability – tension…

What I have realized is we need to take a step back. Everyone can’t be in the front row. Life is a theatre so invite your audience carefully – be a better friend. Start with yourself. There may be a wonderful story in every soul you come across…

A friend is one to whom one may pour out all of the contents of one’s heart, chaff and grain together knowing the gentleness of hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.

In the end, happiness is not absent of problems but simply the ability to deal with them. Look at what you have and not what you have lost or believe you have lost. Sometimes we have to make hard choices to be happy. It is a trade off.

Don’t let negativity and drama get the best of you. People who enjoy laughter gain strength and understand to tune out negativity and try to make everything more positive. Be wise enough to follow in their footsteps; walk away from the nonsense…  May we all find a sense of peace and wellbeing in the days to come.

Keep the circle positive, peaceful and loving. ©

 

Written with love.
#happiness #kindness #love
