Pause by catching your breath
Be still and relax
Take a step into peace
Reflect and practice mindfulness
Drum up some mental imagery
Finding insights to act upon
To take away your apocalyptic fear
Continue to concentrate… breath
With fierce hope and endless determination
I enter this world, my reality
Armed with insight and feeling empowered
I continue to pause and reflect.
The world is filled with deeply caring individuals. There’s hope as we reach out to humankind, hope that life will change. We need to realise the profoundness of our care in this over intellectualised society – our care is likened to the “crack of light in the darkness” that will get us all through these trying times.
Functional cities turned into urban decay
Crime, diseases, potholes, unkept pavements and dirt everywhere
Water levels declining brought on by incessant power outages
The cities have fallen into disrepair
How do I hold on to Neighbourly Love?
Society threatening to move whilst others do escape the city
Yet it is impossible to run away from problems
As no change occurred and mindsets still remains the same
Facing them head-on is a must wherever you are in the world
How do I show Neighbourly Love?
Its doomsday in certain places of the world
People are dying, trapped under heaps of rubble after thumping earthquakes
Massive rescue operation is underway for some
For others living in a war-torn country it’s entirely a different situation
Please let’s reach out and show our Neighbourly Love!
The bible verse (NKJV) “Give, and it will be given to you” made me wonder about the reasons we give. Is the reason to receive in return? Giving love and receiving in return is wonderful though. Working and giving of our time, and receiving monetary reward is great and very necessary to live comfortably. To give as a volunteer, the benefits are enormous to your health, happiness and so much more. When you’re able to fuel yourself with goodness so that you can give more to others, it is good not only for you but others too. Therefore, I believe, it is important to let go of anger and resentment and to embrace forgiveness and give and share compassion and love.
My mind overflows with thoughts of giving and receiving…
The old adage come to mind ‘what you sow you shall reap’
What am I sowing in this world?
Is it anger, hatred, or peace and love?
No one is too poor to give appreciation, compassion, help, love, understanding and so much more. Being rich doesn’t mean you shouldn’t receive something, everyone needs compassion, happiness, and love. Anyone can give something, and anyone can receive something.
Studies show that when you give to others, your generosity is often continued down the line to someone else or returned to you. Anne Frank stated, “No-one ever has ever become poor from giving.” It probably is in giving that we receive the greatest gift.
