Treat this world
With care.
The wounds of past
The acts of now —
They are your very
Heartbeat
And weave
Your children’s
Only
Shelter.

Let yourself
Get cozy
With empathy.

Open hearts
And gentle
Minds.

Strut What?
Photo: Dvora Freedman
Give a hand
Put a stop.
Help the weak
To step up.
See beyond
Outward bluff.
For in the race
To strut stuff,
Truth is often
Enough.

Dance Gingerly

Dance gingerly into the hearts
Of others.
They are the home
Of someone’s soul.
Dance delicately
In the space
That is between
Yourself
And others.
Dance gently ever more
Inside your own.

Your Kind Of Exceptional
Photo: Amitai Asif
Be your own kind of
Exceptional.
Not inherently better than others
Not more entitled
Yet still unequivocally
Uniquely
Equipped
To be the best that you can be
And do the most good you can do
As you.

Time To Launch

Time to launch
Growth spurts of kindness.
Time to set sail
Onto good.
Time to commence
Paths of compassion,
To pitch a better course,
Away from shoals
Of crass and
Greed
Toward a truer way
To heal, succeed, and
Lead.

Pamper Someone Today

Pamper someone
Today.
Cosset Mother Earth, and
Attend with care
To all her beings.
Indulge your loved ones, and
See to those who hurt.
Let others see to you.
Pamper someone
Today.
You will spoil nothing
By offering a plenty
In kindness
To others
And to you.

Not Irrelevant
Photo: Ofir Asif
Do not let anyone tell you
That kindness
Is a privilege
For other times.
Do not let anyone convince you
That truth
Is peripheral
To the necessity of
Getting some things done.
Do not let anyone berate you
That hope is
Irrelevant
And you are somehow
Weak
For holding on
To empathy, veracity, civility, belief.
They are all
Relevant.
Especially
Now.

Thorny Matters
Photo: Amitai Asif
Sometimes spikes
May well mean
You best keep your
Distance.
However,
If you take the time
To understand
That prickly often means
Protective,
You may find
Some thorny people
Can with kind acceptance
And a bit of patience
Come to share
Sweet fruit.

Differentiate Defiance
Photo: Atara Katz
Differentiate the urge
To disobey
For pure defiance’s sake,
From the value of resisting
Those who violate
Or lower what’s at stake.
Refuse the rush
Of righteousness
That rebellions can wake,
And replace it with the strength
Of discerning hate from kindness,
Truth from fake.
