Compassionate Joy

Compassionate Joy

Today I had the chance to watch someone
experience joy.
It was the most humbling experience.
I was sharing in this amazing moment
and found myself feeling compassion for her
and what she was experiencing.
I had had moments like that as well,
but usually its by myself
or something I write about in my joy journal.
What if I began sharing my joy with those I love,
just like I share my struggles?
What if I talked about how much joy I had
in making my refried beans today
or my Mexican rice
or in reading posts from students
who pushed themselves academically
or in watching someone win and pick out their prize
or to see people sitting in the garden
experiencing peace.
What if we all shared our joy with each other
and allowed each other to experience
compassionate joy?

Thank You

Thank You

Every day I take the time to give thanks.
I write in my gratitude journal
about those things I am grateful for in my life.
I give thanks for people, places, things and
that which I cannot classify.
At times I give thanks for things I have been spared,
like situations, illnesses, and
other parts of life I never have to consider.
This morning I realized how easy it is for me to say
thank you
to those who think like me
or share my opinion.
However, I have to also say
thank you
to those who I do not agree with.
I cannot say
thank you
to one group and not the other.
Whether I agree with them or not,
we are all seeking a deeper understanding of truth
and in the process we both contribute,
willingly or not,
to each other’s search.
Today, whether we share opinions or not,
I just want to say
thank you.

Sharing is Caring

Sharing is Caring

Sharing is caring,
I first heard that when someone wanted
me to shre my food with them.
They wanted to try what I was eating.
But for me sharing is caring
has less to do with me
or even at the people at my table,
but more about the people who are not
at my table and maybe not
at anyone’s table.
Sharing is caring
is about me caring for those who have nothing
for those who are hungry
it is about recognizing my blessings
and sharing them with others
who are a part of my human family
sharing is caring
is about me giving back in
gratitude for the one who shared with me.
Sharing is not just about my food,
but about any of my abundances.
I share because I care,
because the Ultimate cares about me.
