September 13, 2019-
Some topsy turvy day, this.
The work day was filled with
love and laughter.
Children with Downs syndrome
bring this about.
A crowded room,
at a ribbon cutting,
with children running about,
fully in joy and exuberance,
was better than any nap.
Another request for assistance,
from one of the most vicious people
I’ve ever known,
popped the balloon of joy.
It’s what that dark spirit does.
Am I a lesser soul,
for not putting myself at her disposal?
Prayers and chanting brought me back
to a place of light.
The power and fortitude of youth
imparts strength to those who
may be worn down, just a bit.
All in all, this Full Moon
Friday the Thirteenth
ended on a bright note.
People with Downs Syndrome tell us who is really important, and it isn’t us.

Sounds like you handled the day well. We are asked to treat all with kindness – from the innocent children to the not so innocent adults we encounter. But as you know, kindness does not mean bending to the will of everyone! So glad you were able to hold onto your internal calm in the face of external stress…

Exactly- kindness doesn’t mean lying down and being a doormat. I have learned it’s important to give self kindness, also.
