"Each day, awakening, are we asked to paint the sky blue?
Need we coax the sun to rise
or flowers to bloom?
Need we teach birds to sing,
or children to laugh,
or lovers to kiss?
No, though we think the world imperfect, it surrounds us each day with its perfections. We are asked only to appreciate them, and to show appreciation by living in peaceful harmony amidst them. The Creator does not ask that we create a perfect world;
He asks that we celebrate it."
This is going to be my birthday and anniversary month special. My sincere apologies for not being able to blog hop often.
