We are all holding hands

It pays to smile, not in green-backs fresh from the mint, but in something more lasting than that, a simple pleasure beyond a chemical process raising our bodies into an animated state, a knowing that today, tomorrow and yesterday are as forgiving now as they will be at any other time and that in the end the race is long, but only with yourself. So, what do we do about it? Simply put, our best, at every moment we can muster the strength to push through the dull grey monotony of our surroundings another victory awaits our efforts, a recollection of child-hood dreams and our connection to the larger human family that we all belong to. For in the end we are not alone, we are not doomed and we are most certainly not lost helplessly in darkness. When you open your eyes in the morning do you not see the sun? With its warm glow pulsing through our skin how can we not get up, move forward and take part in the journey awaiting us. Whatever we will discover there will always be more to experience; bringing us closer to ourselves, each other and the divine. Smile. Love. Happy.
