The One You Feed

I posted this several years ago, but I think it is worth repeating. 

An old Cherokee told his grandson, 
"My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all. 
One is Evil.
  It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies, and ego.
The other is Good.
It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, and truth.
The boy thought about it and asked,
"Grandfather, which wolf wins?"
The old man quietly replied,
"The one you feed."

Irish Blessing

"May you always walk in sunshine. 
May you never want for more. 
May Irish angels rest their wings, 
right beside your door."

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

The Peace of Wild Things

“The Peace of Wild Things”

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Happiness Will Never Come...

Happiness will never come to those who fail
to appreciate what they already have.
Most people make the mistake of looking
too far ahead for things close by.

Sometimes
