When angst and woe pass through
In you,
Remember:
Hope and love
May temporarily feel masked
But
Are the only
Permanence.

For The Daily Post

May the heart of life be open
To the light
And may the truth of human
Goodness
Be uncovered.
May false layers
Of defended animosity
Peel away the
Pretended differences
And empty superiorities
That aim to keep
Empathy
From taking hold.
May the heart of love
Be open.
May humanity find way
To the universally
Innate
Imperative
Unending
Veracity
Of hope.

There’s scare aplenty
Wide cause for alarm
A lot to frown at
Much that charters harm.
No wonder
Panic comes.
Trepidation pushes buttons of old worries
Latches through the tentacles
Of history
And ill-used charm.
It glitters daggers
Into
Masquerading stars and sun.
No wonder
Panic comes.
And yet …
Be brave
Stand firm
Lock arms
Form links
Knit facts
Raise voice
Weave hope
As panic’s anti-dote.
For The Daily Post

Spin a yarn of wonder
Knit together words of hope
Cords of every color
Loop so hearts may cope.
Weave a warm new cover
From yarn old and fine
Find ways to discover
The love intertwined.

Breathe in the scent of spring
The fragrance of new growth
Of verdant leaves
Of rain
Of flowers.
Let new life fill your lungs
Your heart
With light
Perfumed by sun
And sky
And sudden showers.
Breathe in your fill
Of hope
Of splendor
Stock up your mind
With awe
To brighten
Any dreary hour.
For The Daily Post

As the sound of sorrow multiplies
So does the song of hope.
As fear reverberates
So can circles of compassion.
As hate amplifies,
So does love.
We can choose.
Which harmonics
To make ours.
For The Daily Post

In every time of
Hardship
There is a
Measure of
Hope.
In every time of sorrow
There is a
Measure of
Love
For what was
Lost.
In every uphill struggle
There is a
Measure of
Vistas
To be reached.
In every battle
There
Must
Be
A measure of
Understanding
For the
Absolute
Necessity
Of
Peace.
For The Daily Post

Champion compassion, not judgment.
Hold close kindness rather than disdain.
Treasure connection over hierarchy.
Prize intention above gain.
Cherish empathy, for it will nourish.
Uphold truth …
Remember
Learn.
Protect hearts, and peace will follow.
Defend the weak, and they’ll be strong.
Nurture hope, and it will grow sturdy.
Safeguard the Earth
Where
All
belong.
For The Daily Post

In one heart, mix equal parts:
Pearls of connection, words of caring, acts of kindness, steps of courage, hugs of comfort, breaths of peace, paths of truth, smiles of joy, touches of compassion.
Brew with gentleness till ample Hope forms.

Conquer worry, vanquish panic
Climb peaks of improbability
And do not let what is or isn’t feasible
Take the best of what
Is possible.
Master hope
Defeat all hate
Into compassionate submission.
Ascend into yourself
As you were meant to be:
A part of all that is
Uniquely interconnected
No better and no less
Than any other who draws breath.
