Something of Yourself

 

“If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.” – Fred Rogers

Nurture peace, cultivate kindness, and carry the calm.

Little Quiet Moments

 

“How many times have you noticed

it’s the little quiet moments in the midst of life

that seem to give the rest extra-special meaning?”

Fred Rogers

Notice little quiet moments. Nurture peace. Cultivate kindness. Carry the calm.

A World Full, A Cup Full

 

“…although the world is full of suffering,

it is full also of the overcoming of it.”

Helen Keller

 

Helen Keller’s words remind me of something Frederick Buechner said in his essay for Going on Faith: “All the death that ever was, set next to life, would scarcely fill a cup.” It also makes me think of some advice that Fred Rogers left us: When bad things happen, look for the helpers.

So keep your eyes open; be aware of the bad. But don’t drown in that cup.

Nurture peace. Cultivate kindness. Carry the calm.

Keep moving toward what brings life.

Look for the helpers.

And be one.
