Perfectly Themselves

047

“The beginning of love

is to let those we love

be perfectly themselves’

and not to twist them

to fit our own image.

Otherwise we love only

the reflection of ourselves

we find in them.”

.

~ Thomas Merton

.

We are all characters with traits,

some of which are likable to others,

some of which may be annoying.

Love is that soul who has more likable traits

and even their few annoying ones

may be tolerable to some degree.

Today, live the paradox,

in love it is usually our differences

which make us compatible.

Love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves.

Love is helping someone love themselves.

A Precious Privilege

035

.

“When you arise

in the morning,

think of what

a precious privilege

it is to be alive—

to breathe, to think,

to enjoy, to love.”

.

~ Marcus Aurelius

.

The Creator has given you the chance,

breathe,

and a choice to think positively,

and a choice to enjoy God’s blessings,

and a choice to love unconditionally.

Today, enjoy the privilege, choose wisely

and be willing to change those thoughts and actions

which do not make this world a better place for all.

Life is a precious privilege; a chance, a choice and change.

Life is to live and love in the here and now.
