Welcome

Primitive religion is not believed, it is danced!

Arthur Darby Nock

Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God;
And only he who sees takes off his shoes;
The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.

Elizabeth Browning

There is some poweful medicine out there!!!!!


“No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.”
― Charles Dickens
__________________________________________________


there are times we are a l burdens
sometimes we don’t mean to be
sometimes we have no choice
sometimes, well, we just are

because we are tired
mentally in distress
hurt
wounded

but even those who can be burdens
can lighten the burdens of others
some of the most  generous people I know
people who reach out and care (in an appropriate manner)
are people who need help
sometimes lots of it

when we see a person
and our heart goes “Oh N0!  Not them, they are so needy”

perhaps our thought should be instead
in what way, however small, can this person
be there for another
Help other
Life another up

Maybe they listen
Or run an errand
Maybe they simply say, “Man that sucks, I am here for you man!

Studies have shown
That one of the most powerful healing medicines for people with mental illness is

Volunteerism

Every person
Has something they can do to lift the burden of another
Let’s help them find it
And sometimes they person they can help
Is us!
