THE KIND

Susi Bocks's avatarI Write Her

behold those with their irenic nature
with a softness about them
affecting the generations to come

our home needs saved
by people who are the treasures
undoing the damage of beasts

they hold the harshness at bay
soothing the cries of man’s doing
demanding right over wrong

they are the teachers of love
gifting kindness and healing wounds
making us whole again

AN INTRODUCTION TO HEALING WOUNDS OF THE PAST

Joyful2bee's avatarjoyful2beeblogs

Golden Arrow sunset.
Golden Arrow sunset, where the light enters

I hope to help more people be aware of domestic violence and how the effects of it can persist for many years. The first post on this topic:

Rumi, a famous Persian philosopher from the 13th century, once aptly penned: “The wound is where the light enters you.” I wonder what kind of pain he experienced to understand wounds and healing so well.

I loved the man I married. From the observations of others and from my own early experiences (7 years of dating him) I know he loved me. But his health and emotional unrest caused him to go where I could not help him.

The truth is: I was a victim of emotional, mental, physical, and domestic abuse/violence. Even writing it makes me cringe. I do not like to admit that I was a victim because “victim” sounds…

GERANIO (GERANIUM)

सयुंक्त परिवार (JOINT FAMILY)

सयुंक्त परिवार
Joint Family

चुनकर एक एक फूल ज्यूँ
गूँथी जाती प्रभु की माला
प्रेम प्यार की डोरी में बंध
बने सयुंक्त परिवार निराला

pick and choose each flower
to make Lord’s rosary
fastened in the bond of love
joint family became unique

प्रेम प्यार का कच्चा धागा
कैसे पाये मजबूती
नियमित परस्पर संवाद
है मजबूती की बूँटी

Love the raw thread of love
how to get stronger
regular mutual interaction
is the root of strength

इस धागे में आती दृढ़ता
हो बड़ों का सेवा सम्मान
जब छोटों के दृष्टिकोण पर
दिया जाता है पूरा ध्यान

persistence in this threading comes
with due respect to elders
when the approach of the little ones
is given full attention

बड़े होते बड़ पेड़ समान
सबको ढक रखते हैं छांव
इनकी चरण-सेवा कर लो
यही है भवसागर की नाव

elders are like a big trees
whose shade covers everyone
do their feet service
this is the boat of cosmic ocean

खुशियों भरा बैठक का कमरा
स्नेह सिंचित हैं जिसके द्वार
चाय की प्याली में फूंक मारते
हर सुबह हिल मिल करें विचार

The meeting rooms full of happiness
whose doors are filled with affection
Taking sips from tea cups
Discuss every morning thoughts

एक रसोई एक ही चूल्हा
खाते समय होती बातें चार
सुख दुःख सब आपस में बांटे
ऐसा होता सयुंक्त परिवार

one kitchen and one stove
Few discussions happen while eating
share all happiness and sorrows among all
joint family is like those

आज के इस युग में खोजा
दूर दूर तक नज़रें पसार
बिरले ही साझा परिवार मिले
मुश्किल से होंगे ये दो चार

discovered in today’s age
eyes glancing far and far
rarely found joint family
It will hardly be two or four

एकाकी जीवन में कहां अब
मिल पाता है सबका प्यार
आज के बच्चे नहीं जानते
कैसा क्या होता है परिवार

Where now in lonely life
can we get everyone’s love
today’s kids don’t know
how and what makes a family

क्यों ना ऐसी मुहिम चलायें
वृद्ध आश्रम सारे बंद करायें
मात पिता संग रह बच्चों को
संयुक्त परिवार का स्वाद चखाएं |

why not run such a campaign
to close all old age homes
help children live with parents
make all experience the taste of joint family

WHO NEEDS TO CHANGE?

Laleh Chini's avatarA Voice from Iran

“218th Story”

Sally was an energetic smart girl. She used to do very well in school with the best behavior.

But in her last year of high school, which was very important for her future she wasn’t doing well according to her teacher Mrs. Lambert.

Mrs. Lambert warned Sally several times to change her way of talking to others and staying focused and many other issues that Sally had and was causing a huge problem, not to mention ruining her crucial year of getting to university and building a future for herself.

It seemed like Sally is not going to do any changes in her actions, and that made the concerned Mrs. Lambert ask Sally’s mother to come to school.

Mrs. Lambert was straight with Sally’s mother and asked her to take Sally to a psychiatrist and tell the doctor that Sally has a behavior disorder.

The concerned mother took…

REAP

Lay upon an ocean wave,
ride till wishes fly away.
Pages turn to hug the wind,
bright stars shield soft shiny skin.

Crescent moon, comfy pillow,
bask in dreams of love hearts know.
Build a fort, high in the air,
steady breezes make breaths fair.

Listen to songs from a rose,
angel kisses, tickle nose,
vibrant rainbows paint bright views,
endless sky in shades of blue.

Break of dawn blows a bright wish,
golden hour, hopes flourish.
Close portal each day and night,
protects clear euphoric light.

Sweet escapes paint blissful smiles,
infinite views outrun miles.
Endless worlds slowly combine,
energies dance intertwined.

Yesterday helps stitches fall,
every “want” answers “needs” call.
“What will be” meets “all that is”,
today plants, tomorrow gives.

PAPER BAG DAY

Debasis Nayak's avatarB +Ve!!

World Paper Bag Day (or Paper Bag Day) is celebrated across the globe on July 12 every year to reaffirm the much-needed daily use of paper bags over plastic bags, which apparently came in handy for carrying our groceries and stuff for donkey’s years, to the gross detriment of our environment.

This day of July 12 is dedicated to raising awareness about the use of biodegradable paper bags that are recyclable and made of renewable raw materials. Worldwide, there’s has been awakening of sorts – at the turn of the last century – in terms of the need to curb the usage of plastic bags, which are non-biodegradable or, in simplest terms, take hundreds of years to decompose in landfills.

LEARNING TO FORGIVE

Val T Boyko's avatarFind Your Middle Ground

forgiveness

Forgiveness is giving up the need to punish someone or yourself for an offense. We let go of judging the person who caused the hurt.

Instead of revenge and resentment we choose understanding and kindness. In forgiveness, we don’t forget that the offense occurred, nor do we excuse it. Forgiveness is a choice and act of will to free ourselves.

“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” – Louis B. Smedes

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” – Mahatma Gandhi

“Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.” – Paul Boese

“Without forgiveness life is governed by… an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation.”– Roberto Assagioli

“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets…
