Finish your own puzzle
It is individually yours
Or you may have to go
Rip it apart and do it over
Hopefully with all the pieces
Or else find some fallen down
When some whirlwind blew
And deep emotions reset
That may be destructive
To what needs to go
Or gracefully gentle
In moments of rage
When energies clash
Doors open and close
First is best to focus on
No point on ones closed
But opening ones for sure
Where the energies flow
And big steps are made
Forward in unfoldment
Left behind for good
Openings long past
Closed and healed
Wounds and scars
Of loving hearts.

“Tears of joy” — generations mantra with a waking toddler’s song

A lesson from Mahatma Gandhi

Gandhi was boarding a train. Just as he was going inside, one of his shoes slipped off and got caught on the track. He tried to retrieve it but could not. People standing near watched him. When he was unable to pull the shoe from the track, he took off the other shoe as well and threw it on the track right at the spot where the first one was stuck.

The astonished passengers asked, “Why are you throwing the other shoe onto the track?” Gandhi replied, “The poor man who finds the shoe lying on the track will now have a pair he can use.”
