Incongruous

The day between Abe’s birthday and Valentine’s Day the day that love is celebrated how apropos for
This piece to call on the better angels of our nature to reach out to others and with wonder touch their

Lives in those dry desert like places I guess this piece comes from a mother’s words when with perfect
Sensitivity she said I notice how my child droops at the simple fact when mail is passed out and he is left

Out nature is itself called Mother Nature and in her possession are so many blessings that flow into
Our lives blue skies white clouds streams of water yes they have a primary purpose but emotionally they

Are given to enhance our moods of a truth life has stretches of the mundane common places how
Quietly and refreshing are those slow places when we are over taxed as friends we are the delivery

Systems for sure blessings but at times we need to adjust our thinking take a moment and survey what
Is really going on that can mean taking a second look it is surprising what can be missed we can be the

Freeing agent in a situation with nothing but a hand on the shoulder or a smile can revert troubles that
Are overflowing another’s life all it takes is sensitivity and caring life is a battle and it doesn’t always

Come with a battle plan its open ended aspect is the perfect opportunity for you through the power
Of friendship how many evils large and small have met defeat under this glorious banner that was

Created by mercy and its attentive nature to watch and protect our loved ones all it takes is the willing
Hearts of true friends this is just a note to say that you can be the magnificent rose just above the thorn

And by your expression of beauty and careful thought the thorn is dimensioned as it is in nature the rose
is what matters but it has its quality and life just beyond pains identifiable thorn
