INDIFFERENCE


Just keeping cool….

Not letting anything get in the way….

Putting a lukewarm wet towel on my emotions ….

Listening ….

In touch with what’s happening ….

Maybe ….

Wondering ….

Seeing all the possibilities ….

Accepting what I’m not sure about ….

Breathing ….

Being ….

Time is happening ….

I don’t have to solve everything ….

Not that easy to be indifferent ….

Knowing a month from now I’ll be in the calm next ….

Not blaming myself for doing so little ….

My earlier years I was different and doing ….

Not now, but I’m enjoying a lot more.

Quote for Today


"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.

The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference.

The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference.

And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference."


Elie Wiesel (1928- )

in U.S. News and World Report

October 27, 1986

ALMOST

 

Much of life is almost.

The pie crust is fine but ….

I wrote the letter and I could have

added a few more comments, but ….

Almost did that, but time happened.

Almost a perfect day – but a few

rain clouds slipped into the afternoon sky.

Said a prayer – almost without distractions –

but second thoughts about supper arrived….

Quote for Today

"If the Holy Spirit was withdrawn

from the church today, 95 percent of

what we do would go on and no one

would know the difference. If the 

Holy Spirit had been withdrawn

from the New Testament church,

95 percent of what they did would

stop and everyone would know 

the difference."

MORE! COME  HOLY  SPIRIT

 



Come Holy Spirit.

I need more energy –

more life – more light –

more insight - more wisdom.

I need more pep

in my step – more

affirmation of others –

seeing and acknowledging

their gifts as together

we build up the community.
