April 20, 2019-
Look beyond the slight,
which a tired, downcast soul,
hurls at the unsuspecting.
Look towards the joy,
that the angels of the Sun
are holding,
in their outstretched hands.
Look past the taunts,
which the fettered ones shout,
at one who struggles.
Look outwardly,
to the breaking
of all chains,
and to the rising
of every good heart.
These verses come to mind, as I complete a long, and mostly joyful, day of service, at the beginning of Ridvan, the Eastertide and “Earth Month”.
So beautiful!

Those who lash out are generally doing just that — venting about some unrelated issue that may or may not have anything to do with the lashing! The joy of the angels is much more pure and happy/

Indeed it is, Janet. I am feeling more fulfilled again, these days. Hope your Easter was happy and safe.

I’m glad you’re feeling more fulfilled. If a trip to the cottages would be helpful, please let me know, preferably with a choice of days. Easter was both happy and safe — quiet, but productive.
