More than Just

“Beauty is whatever gives joy.” – Edna St. Vincent Millay

May spring, transformation, light bloom within you.
Each day, may you see beauty, experience joy, awe and delight.
Pause, witness, praise.
A new day, write some good paragraphs today in your story.
You are the author, pick up the pen.

“Don’t just learn, experience.
Don’t just read, absorb.
Don’t just change, transform.
Don’t just relate, advocate.
Don’t just promise, prove.
Don’t just criticize, encourage.
Don’t just think, ponder.
Don’t just take, give.
Don’t just see, feel.
Don’t just dream, do.
Don’t just hear, listen.
Don’t just talk, act.
Don’t just tell, show.
Don’t just exist, live.”

― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
