My brothers, nephews and my son, on an Amaro boys weekend.
My Godmother from years ago.
Sacred silence holy ocean
Gentle water washing over me
Help me listen Holy Spirit
Come and speak to me
Holy Spirit sanctifying me
Lord have mercy and please forgive me
Come and set me free
Sacred stillness deep still waters
Calm the raging storms within my soul
And clear the waters of confusion
At pure and peaceful waters flow
If someone has done me wrong, instead of getting even I remind myself:
“Living well is the best revenge.”
More recently, Michelle Obama said:
“When someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don’t stoop to their level. No, our motto is: When they go low, we go high.”
Thanks for these Kathie! I’ve also always like “You have to bloom where planted” which I believe is one from Corey.
Of course in Corey’s case, there’s that old World War I song, “How Ya Gonna Keep ’em Down on the Farm (After They’ve Seen Paree)?”
A lot of us have been transplanted, often more than once, in adulthood, by choice. And “military brats” I knew when we were kids had to adjust to getting moved every couple of years due to their parental transfers (there were a lot of bases in the Bay Area back then).
Kathie… “After They’ve Seen Paree” that is too funny!
Mommy always told us if we couldn’t say something nice not to say anything at all. I’d often hear her saying, “There, but for the Grace of God, go I. “
Écoute comme si tu pouvais te tromper…..listen as if you could be wrong.
This is wonderful! I have never heard this but it’s spot on and such a beautiful sentence but so hard to follow.

Walt Whitman —— “We were together. I forget the rest.”
My favorite passage: Psalm 91…I pray this over all my family almost on a daily basis! ❤️
