On This Day

On this day
Mend a quarrel
Search out a forgotten friend
Dismiss a suspicion and replace it with trust
Encourage someone who has lost faith
Keep a promise
Forget an old grudge
Examine your demand on others and vow to reduce them
Fight for a principle
Express your gratitude
Overcome an old fear
Take two minutes to appreciate the beauty of nature
Tell someone you love them
Tell them again
And again
And again

Ann Landers

Wherever friendly paths intersect the whole world looks like home for a time.  Hermann Hesse

Just learning how to use this and since it's spring here's a little somethin'

I ride the windstream, with blue as my background,
A touch of spring sends me off through the air.
My voice rings out in a wide wond'rous windsong
As southwesterlies come and green all that's bare.

Creature of the sky
With the power to fly
A song in its heart
And no reason to die.

Spring brings a surge in the earth's mother ground
That flows through all living with a newness to share.
I am the one to bring tidings to earth bound
And sing with a joy so they may prepare.

A song for the sun
A new day begun
For the son's of all men
Live forever as one.

Spread wings like a kite, soar high o'er the ground.
Coloured feathers, new voices, make a show like a fair.
Happy I fly and flirt all around,
Build a home with a family to live free in the air.

So here's to the birds
They teach us new words
each year there's new freedom
And someday we'll learn.
