Guest guest Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Hi all... You have all inspired me to remembering what being human is about, so I have a new daily practice - I look at the people I pass on the street and smile at them. As I have been doing this I feel saddened by the number of people who never lift their eyes from the ground and I can feel some of their sadnesses too. But I hope that the smile reaches them even if they never see it, and I keep on smiling at them as we pass. And even if I am not feeling very happy myself, that smile is still a genuine greeting of the spirit in us all, and in doing so I become happy too. Thank you all for reminding me of this by your loving kindnesses. Peace, Ruari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 An excellent practice because the smile you give though not returned still has its effect upon then as this is a matter of intent. Your intention will register even if they do not see you. Like vision intention has wieght. - imho - blessings Ruari - chrism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Hi Ruari: What a lovely lifestyle that would be, and thank you dear daffodil....... I can visualize you like a morning flower smiling at the whole world and just say 'I am'.... I intend to do this, but forget most of the time, and smile turns to a frown.... i have just embraced the smile. love and blessings keshavRuari <spirit wrote: Hi all...You have all inspired me to remembering what being human is about, soI have a new daily practice - I look at the people I pass on thestreet and smile at them.
