Happy Wednesday

All days could use the beauty of poetry. Here is my selection for today by Nayyirah Waheed.

if you deserve
honey
mine will flow from my arms to yours
no effort, no asking.
but, if there is none
and
you feel wind instead.
know
that my spirit already
senses that
when you smell sweetness
you
begin harvesting blades in your hands.

-kindness is a form of intelligence

 Be careful with the sweetest parts of you. Spread love and positive energy, yes, but remember that not everyone deserves your sweetness, your vulnerability, your honey. Remember that some people see you and will take advantage of your sweet and kind demeanor. You'll see that not everyone will treat you with the same kindness and you'll learn to stop showering them from the best your heart. Don't release all your positive energy into dangerous territory. It won't benefit anyone.
