Spirit

Compassion is not raising the middle finger
Compassion is wishing well to people you dislike
Compassion is not mocking people when they are trying their best
Compassion is not a weakness

Kindness is not a merit badge to nirvana
Kindness is not a get out of jail card
Kindness will not automatically get you into heaven
Yet, Kindness and Compassion with the right motivation is good

Love does not come with and R lable
Love does not discriminate
Love is not biased
Love, Compassion and Kindness are flowers that should grow freely

Whether you are a Christian or a Buddhist
A Mormon or Jew
An Amish or Islamic
Know what motivates you
Know that it is ethical
And you are okay.

the night blogger

all is still
all is dark
until the birds in the park
kick out the lark

the world still spins
along its dizzy unknown thread
everyone inside sheets of tins
tinker in their little shed

the night is day
but early still
traffic on the road is heard
even through the solid window sill

all words are leaves falling
in drifts of silent snow
till they hear the calling
until they really know
