How we approach these moments speaks to our patience and flexibility as well as our ability to endure unexpected changes, cancellations, and disruptions. A people in transition... moving... changing... arriving.
As I mused on these colorful scenes, I recalled a friend's advice and a question posed recently: Take Care of Yourself and Who is Neighbor? I wondered: what is the best way to reach a balance between self-care and identifying others as neighbors? Is it through: Cooperation? Understanding? Listening? Hearing? Maybe we are called to lighten the 'baggage' we carry and create a state of Welcome and Acceptance.
Do we offer a 'welcome sign' to others... that you are accepted and considered a neighbor? (Etsy: SIgns of Justice) |
- A person who lives nearby
- One's fellow human being
- A person who shows kindliness or helpfulness toward another
Do we welcome the world with arms outstretched... or do we have our backs to the possibilities? (Freedom, by cst, DeviantArt) |
Do we leap with open hearts ... welcoming others into the beauty that surrounds us? (A Gift to Realize: Freedom) |
- To the places you have been and where you want to go?
- To the burdens you carry and the baggage you want to leave behind?
- To the transitions that have inspired you and to those not yet achieved?
Blessings this new week as you Take Care of Yourself and decide Who is Neighbor? Both require open arms that are available to embrace and welcome!
