Rescued Child

 A   L   O   H   A  !
Red Ti

  If you rescued a child,
an orphan,
living on the street.

Would you do so
in order for the child
to be your servant?

Would you put the child
to work?



 If they were not 'productive'
would you send them back
to the street?

No.
Of course the child
is valuable as a person,
a soul - 
not merely as
a producer.












So
Why do we judge
ourselves SO harshly?

We whip ourselves,
we shame ourselves-
but YOU & I
are destitute children,
renewed every day
by Unfathomable Kindness.








Ultimately,
none of our treasures
are 'earned'
though we work;
How we work!








 You are the child
in your own care-
just give  
You-CHILD-Self
the same care
you would give
a street child
sleeping on your
couch !

What a thought provoking post. It is true that I, like so many others, am harder on myself than on anyone else. Thanks Cloudia, I will try and be kinder.

A nap sounds pretty good, but later maybe, I have work to do.

Yep, taking my sniffles back to bed. (Yep, got my flu shot.)
71 years since Pearl Harbor; through history, it doesn't seem so long ago. Peace for the Islands.

You do it every time. This is wonderful and necessary. We sure do beat ourselves up. For nothing. What if we smiled and looked up every time we felt inadequate?
