Try a Little Kindness

If you see your brother standing by the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he sowed
And if you see your sister falling by the way
Just stop and say you’re goin’ the wrong way
You’ve got to try a little kindness yes show a little kindness
Yes shine your light for everyone to see
And if you’ll try a little kindness and you’ll overlook the blindness
Of the narrow minded people on the narrow minded streets

From the song Try a Little Kindess written by Curt Sapaugh and Bobby Austin and recorded by Glen Campbell, 1969

A quote a day for a week: 2

(from the song: I should have sent roses)

I don’t know where to start
This cage ‘round my heart
Locked up what I’d meant to say
Or I felt all along the way
Just wondering how come
I couldn’t take your breath away

Lyrics and Music by Elton John, Bernie Taupin and Leon Russell, from the album, The Union, 2010

Everywhere

I’ve been everywhere, man
I’ve been everywhere
Crossed the desert’s bare, man
I’ve breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I’ve had my share man,
I’ve been everywhere

Lyrics written by Geoff Mack, 1959
Sung by many fine people, but no one does
it justice like the great Johnny Cash, Unchained, 1996

Reading: The Time in Between by Maria Dueñas

Feeling: Glad to see the sun for two days in a row

Smelling: The tang of cut grass

Tasting: Blueberry coffee

Listening: John Gorka

Creating: New graphics for a client’s website

Wanting: More energy

Pondering: The book I’m reading (mentioned above) has brought back so many conversations of my childhood home. How does our past mold the people we become in the future?

And lastly, one of my own:
Remembering: A walk along the rim of the Grand Canyon after a storm
