SATURDAY 11 JANUARY A GOOD WORD
Where we all ought to begin is a good thought to help us all sing. Then a good word will be a fruitful seed to lift our world through a good deed. How unthoughtful then to believe our future a friend, if not our thought be good, say not what we ought and do not know we should.

Verily, where we all ought to begin is a good thought to help us all sing. Then a good word will be a fruitful seed to lift our world through a good deed.

A good word, truly, a good world.

SUNDAY 5 JANUARY TWELTH NIGHT
"Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.”

William Shakespeare from Twelfth Night



SATURDAY 7 DECEMBER INNER PEACE IS STRENGTH
On the farm where he grew up with all his siblings the elderly man sat alone after that his wife had died before him. He knew the farm, the village, and the community where he had lived his whole life. He knew when the swallows arrived during the year, he knew all the different weather shifts and he had peace; something he had been given from his parents and the environment he grew up in.

It was winter and he was now an elderly man that went out on the yard for an errand to the car when he slipped and fell underneath the car, so bad that one leg broke and there he laid.

Around him came the neighbours, yes, and even some relatives that happened to pass by. All were worried for him that now lay there seemingly helpless and an intense discussion started about which way was the best to help him. One thought this, another thought that and it seemed like there was only one person that was calm; the man with a broken leg underneath the car.

"Let one of you go and get the broad plank in the barn, put me on that and drag me into the house while one other of you calls my son who will come with a first aid kit as soon as he has the time," the man declared from his supine position.

With that said and done the man came into the warmth on a broad plank and the son came with assistants, yes, and to the hospital eventually.

It went so bad that the leg had to be amputated and the man had to spend the rest of his life on crutches. Regardless of all this the man kept his calm and even when the forest were up for inspection you could see him with crutches make his way through the most miserable terrain.

The man knew the farm, the village, and the community where he had lived his whole life. He knew when the swallows arrived during the year, he knew all the different weather shifts and he had peace; with or without leg.

SATURDAY 26 OCTOBER SENSE OF HOME - a sense of belonging
You know the feeling of coming home after a long journey, when you put the bag down and breathe out. Sure, the journey was nice, yes, even wonderful; nevertheless there it is as soon as you close the door - the sense of home.

You know that warm, good, calm sense that only a safely home can bring. We all know that not every home has that kind of sense, yet; still we know that this sense can be found - either way.

Think of it - where do you find it?
Or - when do you find it?

It is a more important question than you think. Let us say that you do not find it, how would that be? Do believe that we all have felt that from time to time, when the schedule has been full and we have driven ourselves too hard. It is probably more common today than ever before because of all the possibilities and impressions we all take in during just one day.

Did you figure out where you find it - the sense of home?
Or - when you find it?

What would happen if you were able to find the sense of home at least once a day?
Say that you get that sense when you just have woken up, rested, without an alarm clock in the weekend. Would it then even appear if you where able to get the same amount of hours of sleep during the weekdays as you get in the weekends - to get calm mornings even during the weekdays.

Or if the sense of home appears when the kids has fallen a sleep - with or without your spouse. Would it appear for a moment everyday if the kids where put to bed an hour earlier?

Maybe it is during the lunch walks as a student, acquisition worker or as a pensioner this sense appear.
Wherever you find it, it is real, important, yes, invaluable to build us up and even so our lives. In this state, the sense of home and comfort, we find good thoughts and makes good decisions. If we choose to nurture this feeling and daily moment, we nurture a good life, bit by bit, yes, seed by seed.

You nurture a healthy and clear perspective as well as a healthy life that like an olive tree grows stronger and safer, day-by-day, week-by-week, yes, year-by-year.

So, regardless how far you have gotten from yourself or even how homeless you feel, you can nurture your way back home again.
