We are such critics of ourselves. Something about being in my 8th decade (good grief) wisdom seems to clarify so many things. Doing what I love, recognizing that I am OK is a good thing. Nice to see the poem you shared, too.<br />Janet Clare F.skanny17https://www.blogger.com/profile/07488350213473016250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084574475796190316.post-37292560355439353212022-02-15T03:58:01.359-05:002022-02-15T03:58:01.359-05:00Please read my postPlease read my postRajani Rehanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439571117569471650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084574475796190316.post-48068108267182312652022-02-15T03:57:47.444-05:002022-02-15T03:57:47.444-05:00Beautiful blogBeautiful blogRajani Rehanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439571117569471650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084574475796190316.post-25253569363196276342022-02-13T09:37:22.075-05:002022-02-13T09:37:22.075-05:00Thank you for the poetry book reference.

What a great poem and a reminder to be gentle with oneself so that one has love and kindness to share. Perhaps we need to be our own breeding ground for kindness in order to create enough to spread it around. Kindness vectors, as it were. Thanks, Heidi!mbhmainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12368641525885104669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084574475796190316.post-20434450542754521642022-02-11T19:29:02.440-05:002022-02-11T19:29:02.440-05:00I know the poem.

I don't know the term "philautia" either, will remember, Heidi. I do like this: "and each will smile at the other's welcome".
