Day 141n: Letting LOVE bloom bigger … (September 17, 2019)
And then I came across a small roadside shopping center, wherein rested Cross Ties Antiques. Something about the place called to me, and I entered to ask owner Jenny for a glass of water, and yet received an ice cold can of Coca Cola and a heartfelt hug instead …
“Service is a smile and a smile is a service. Indeed, whether it takes the form of an acknowledging wave or a reaching handshake or a friendly wink or a warm hug, it is these same simple acts that matter so much, because the greatest service to any human Soul has always been the proffered kindness of recognizing the other – of really SEEing them there – and thereby of re-acknowledging their innate and inescapable worthiness of knowing love & goodness … So withhold your smile only when the same somehow might well cause another harm. Otherwise, let it bloom forth in a riot.” ~ inspired Richelle Goodrich & Vera Nazarian
