So often, I'm moved by ordinary things
my "doses of reality"
the birds, the clouds, a song ...
I am ecstatic over the beauty of life
the loveliness of nature ...
the majesty of a building.
There are times when I giggle out loud
simply because there is not enough ...
room inside me to contain it
I call those times "doses of reality"
Then there are times
I am moved by
people who are hungry
and things in life that don't work ...
I cry for them, for their plight
their misfortune
and I am thankful for what I have ...
and what I am
and for what I sometimes consider
ordinary.
Margie, That is so nice! It shows alot of feeling and compassion. It makes me think of others in their plight and lucky and grateful for what I have.

this is beautiful, Margie...it shows that reality can wear many different faces...and that really, loveliness is all around us all the time in the simplest of things...what some of us think in our own lives as ordinary there are others who would see as extraordinary...
ReplyDeleteSo true Margie. It's all about perpective, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThat makes you a great human beings Margie, in touch with life! :))

Hi Keshi
Yes, it's so true, we are blessed with the ordinary things (ordinary, but beautiful too) and so many don't even have that.
That is very sad!
I don't know if I'm wonderful but I try my best to be the best I can be...thanks so much for that, dear!
Now, you now how much I think about you and your big heart.
Oh, so glad my little message meant so much to you...I'm smiling:):)

Missed your comment, Aurora.
ReplyDeleteThank you, very much!
Your kind words are appreciated!
Margie:)
we are but, the ordinary people, we are the one who make this world, we are the one who are the very cause of everything, we are the one who are blessed, we are the one who can create the difference.
ReplyDeleteVery, very well said, ! Teq-uila!
ReplyDeleteLoved your comment!
Margie:)
I am also taken by your words. It is those who hurt and need the empathy and help that affect me greatly. Usually too proud to ask for help they go on with their lives in hope and promise, trying the best they can against sometimes unbearable odds.
ReplyDeleteI help when I can but do not always know who is suffering!
Hi Goatman
ReplyDeleteYour comment shows your compassion!
It touched my heart!
I agree that we do not always know who is suffering but when we help anyone in need it helps us just as much...probably more, actually!
To help one in need is a blessing in our life!
Take care.
Margie
