Stay in the moment of the day....

"Look to this day

for it is life

the very life of life.

In its brief course lie all

the realities and truths of existence

the joy of growth.....

the splendor of action.....

....for yesterday is but a memory

and tomorrow is only a vision.....

Look well, therefore, to this day...."

                        ~ ancient Sanskrit poem ~

See and stay in the beauty.....

as you journey through the splendor
of each day!

For this life is about living-love...
about embracing every moment....
for....
"......today well lived
makes every yesterday a memory
of happiness
and every tomorrow a vision of hope."

May you "wake at dawn with a winged heart
and give thanks for another day of loving;

      (and) rest at the noon hour
and
meditate on love's ecstasy;
      (Then to) return home at eventide with gratitude;

      And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved
in your heart
and a song of praise upon your lips."
                                          ...Gibran

"....and these three remain
faith,
hope,
and love.

And the greatest of these is love."
                             .....I Corinthians 13

A Time for Giving Thanks

The Goose Story

As you watch the geese heading south for the winter, flying along in "V" formation, think about why they fly that way. 

When the lead goose gets tired, she rotates back in the wing, and another goose flies on the point. They take turns doing hard jobs for each other. The geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.

Finally, when a goose weakens or is wounded and falls out of formation, two geese fall out and follow him down to help and protect him. They stay with him until he is either able to fly or until he is dead. Then they set out alone or with another formation until they catch up with their own group. If we had the sense of a goose, we would stand by each other like that.

 

Geese are blessed with an indomitable spirit 

and are tied together heart and soul.

They protect each other and 

share the weight of the heavy load.

May we learn from these simple creatures...

to love and care for those we travel

and touch shoulders with 

on this journey through life.

May God bless you and yours

this Thanksgiving and all year 'round.
