[grabs Your Shirt] Listen. Listen To Me. The Practical Is Holy. The Everyday Is Sacred. The Simple Act

"Yes, Think" – Ruth Stone

Mother, said a small tomato caterpillar to a wasp, why are you kissing me so hard on my back? You’ll see, said the industrious wasp, deftly inserting a package of her eggs under the small caterpillar’s skin. Every day the small caterpillar ate and ate the delicious tomato leaves. I am surely getting larger, it said to itself. This was a sad miscalculation. The ravenous hatched wasp worms were getting larger. O world, the small caterpillar said, you were so beautiful. I am only a small tomato caterpillar, made to eat the good tomato leaves. Now I am so tired. And I am getting even smaller. Nature smiled. Never mind, dear, she said. You are a lovely link in the great chain of being. Think how lucky it is to be born.

lord grant me the serenity to do my laundry, the courage to do my laundry, and the wisdom to do my laundry

I owe the healing to myself and the little girl in me with big dreams.

Just because most people do something does not mean that you have to. If your heart is guiding you to do something differently, that’s okay. Go with that flow, and don’t worry about what other people think. People who are compatible with you will love you no matter what.
