Wrong or Right?

People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong...

Why not try and see positive things, to just touch those

things and make them bloom?

If I look for failure, I find it

Every time

If I look for problems, I find them

Every time

If I look for deficits, or evils

Ah Ha!

There they are!

Its so easy

To see and feed the negative

Bringing forth ugliness and foul fruit

It is easy too to look for good

To think in terms of promise

to find that speck of Sacred that lies

within each of us

sometimes dormant and frail

to touch it

within our own souls

within others

and feed and nurture it

until it grows and blossoms

love

hope

compassion

kindness

good fruit!
