Balance, Order, Rhythm and Harmony

“Happiness is not

a matter of

intensity

but of balance,

order, rhythm and

harmony.”

.

~ Thomas Merton

.

Not too much brass,  not too many strings,

not a lot of woodwinds, not a great deal of percussion,

but just the right balance, order, rhythm and harmony

so that you may enjoy the creation,

just as God meant it to be.

Today, enjoy the happiness that comes from using

the talents and skills you have been given

to make beautiful music,

songs and silence that are

one with the Uni-verse.

Happiness is to be in balance, order, rhythm and harmony

with the Uni-verse.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

An Active Noun

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

.

“Love isn’t a state

of perfect caring.

It is an active noun,

like struggle.

To love someone

is to strive to accept

that person exactly

the way he or she is,

right here and now.”

.

~ Fred Rogers

.

Even the most perfect relationship will have

its moment of struggle.

Eat out or stay at home; ball game or movie;

this choice, that choice; always  an opportunity

to agree to disagree.

What makes a loving relationship is

the willingness to compromise without keeping score.

Today, know that a common ground

is what reduces most struggles,

so do not try to force your round love

into a square hole.

Love is an active noun.

Love is helping someone love themselves.
