As I watch, listen and take notice of how people interact, I see the smiles,
the joy, the pride, the excitement, the belief, the hope, the guilt, the shame,
the disbelief, the doubt, the sadness, the anger, or fear - expressed in their faces. Often
no words are needed.
It reminds me of Thomas Merton’s quote; and how important it is to be
aware of your state of mind, your thoughts and what you allow to grow.
Not just in your own
mind but in all those you interact with.
I automatically think of our children, the ones we influence the most; through
our words and our actions, as they take in, take note and the seeds begin to
grow.
