Just recently I was asked, “What makes you smile?”
All kinds of things make me smile.
Living things - people, animals, plants.
Specific people, family, and friends make me smile.
Clouds, sunshine-
Paint- I mean real paint, not wall paint.
Paper-
Canvas not so much, but it is very useful-
Brushes-
Pencils-
Charcoal, believe it or not-
Clay- all kinds of clay-
Pearls make me smile.
Poets, at least the few I know, make me smile.
Music makes me smile.
Painting makes me smile.
It is such a beautiful world, and such a privilege to live in it-
when I think of it as a whole I am overwhelmed.
It's the specifics that can sometime give me the pip. That seems true of everyone.
Family is probably the single most important source of smiles in anyone’s life.
Without the cooperation of Shiva and Shakti, families could not exist.
Beautiful bowls make the ritual of sharing food memorable.
Individuals must make hard decisions so families can thrive.
Memories, prayers and hope – this is the way we hold ourselves and our families together.
Families can make us and sometimes break us.
They make us what we are.
May your family make you smile
