I have a little friend
her name is M. Blessed.
And when I spend some time with her?
I feel I’m not a mess.
She helps me to be humble…
She looks for all the good…
She appreciates the little things,
And shows me why they’re huge.
Things like a beautiful sunrise ~
And the graceful swim of a swan ~
The gentle breeze of the evergreens ~
The glow of light on the pond…
A smile from a neighbor ~
A hug from children down the hall ~
The kindness of a cashier or gas attendant,
When I need to be on the road.
And she helps me not take for granted
Other treasures too:
Clean water to drink,
Electricity,
A safe space to sleep,
And over my head a solid roof.
And when we were together recently
We spoke of invisible things…
Like thought resources to support our journey,
And help others practically.
We spoke so real and true,
She had my full attention…
“Our right to think is an incredible privilege!
We never want to take for granted.”
She has big words for it:
Like reason,
conscience,
and self government…*
basically its just a big word way of saying:
we have the right to think and choose what we allow influence us…
I love that she reminded me:
I get a say in what gets my attention.
I love her gentle nudges…
They echo in my thought.
I hear them mostly when I am still,
Especially in the morn.
Have you friended M. Blessed yet
I think you’ll like her too.
She encourages to notice
the little and big things.
And most of all?
How we think…
What we choose.
