295/365 - As You Grow Older (Sam Levenson)


“For Attractive lips, 
speak words of kindness.

 For lovely eyes, 
seek out the good in people.

 For a slim figure, 
share your food with the hungry.

 For beautiful hair, 
let a child run their fingers through it once a day.

 For poise, 
walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

  People, more than things, 
have to be restored, renewed, 
revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. 

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, 
you will find one at the end of each of your arms.

 As you grow older, 
you will discover that you have two hands, 
one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.”
 
- Sam Levenson



294/365 - The Friend (Henri J.M. Nouwen)


“When we honestly ask ourselves
which person in our lives mean the most to us, 
we often find that it is those who, 
instead of giving advice, 
 solutions, or cures, 
have chosen rather to share our pain and 
touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. 

The friend who can be silent with us 
 in a moment of despair or confusion, 
who can stay with us 
in an hour of grief and bereavement, 
who can tolerate not knowing, 
not curing, not healing 
and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, 
that is a friend who cares.”

  - Henri J.M. Nouwen,
