Rejoicing in simple things. Practicing
Empathy for friends and colleagues.
Joyfulness when two connect in pursuit
Of something good and meaningful. Success
In a shared quest results from applied wisdom.
Choices grounded in civil regard for one another,
Instead of combative striving, and all the
Negativity, and artful manipulation, used to
Garner one’s desired goals.
.
In this there is integrity, and soundness, and the
Negation of all the dark forces bent on ruining us.
.
Surely, it is quite clear that wholeness is achieved
Only when one considers another before self. In
Deference to the unique challenges maintaining
An altruistic mindset, (in an ego-driven society)
Let us purpose to resolve petty differences
Instead of focusing on what irritates us about
The other…. and,
In so doing, employ practices furthering an
Evenhanded quest for creative sodality, without
Sacrificing the untapped potential of shared application.
.
Beneficially dealt respect always quashes the
Languor of deadpan indifference, and inspires in
Others a desire to share openly - without
Sacrificing self. Sharing honorably from the heart,
Supports a mutually beneficial goal, which invariably
Opens up the floodgates of imaginative exposition, as
Meism is superseded by originality, trust, and respect.

It is simply gorgeous!!!! I was talking to someone who's family lives in coastal rural Spain. They truly care about all people, especially the country rural people....Beautiful people inside and out, cheap real estate . Something about rural people of America- much that I have traveled, especially Tennessee, people are absolutely incredible. These people would give the shirt off their back...They are priceless beyond treasure...My neighbors are extraordinary, hospitable, friendly, interested in our lives but without being nosey. It's like a dream come true of such beautiful souls...!!!!
Today my next door neighbors ( BTW are from California) anyways, their cattle got out of his gate so we worked together with another neighbor to help them in again because this is what kind hearted, hardworking, faith filled loving souls do- we reach out when we are available, where needed instead of living for ourselves.....I could go on forever about how beautiful they are and positive We share our garden some seasons and they give us eggs.....They look after our place when we go out of town.. Rural life is the way to go and cheap taxes...As a city girl from Maryland I would never think of living in another high traffic city area if I could help it unless I had to for Paul because he enjoys Florida beaches in winter because he hates Tennessee in winter!!!! I pray though that God will restore America soon as the prophets have said.....As always your imagery is deeply pretty, inspiring, moving in the soul.. Hope life is beautiful, safe and blessed for you & Michelle~ j
Rejoice in simple things. That first sentence means the world to me because of my physical problems now. Thanks for this wonderful poem, my friend. Sorry my eyesight is what I'm bothered with today. . .
