As I organized and compiled over ten years
of daily Affirmative Thoughts for an eventual book
style publication, I ran across unpublished notes
that still reverberate with meaning for me, still
provide viable instruction, as is the case with
the note that is offered below.
As the hands and feet and heart of God, I believe
we are the agents of good for God in the world,
we are both the receivers and generators of this
good – we incubate this good by tending to our
spiritual business – living with love, compassion,
and empathy.
Whether we believe Jesus was the son of God
or the son of man, it matters not. What really
matters is the message he so clearly conveyed.
Let us listen with fresh ears and an open heart.
Let us be the living and breathing incubators
of good in the world.
UPON THIS FERTILE SOIL
Today in simple solitude, reflect upon the gifts
you have been given: the life you lead; those
who surround you, love you, and cherish you –
the work you do; the wonder you create
and share with the world.
Today let go of the hoped-for future;
the hoped-for outcome and return instead
to your ever-present life, not perfect but
manageable, not exactly the stuff of dreams
but worthy of thoughtful consideration,
and do the good you are meant to do now
upon this fertile soil.
Today know, without concern, the waiting
good is forming as you clearly think;
believingly dream; consciously feel during
this very magnificent day unraveling around
you: so be here, now, present and engaged –
knowing this is the incubator for the good
to follow.
