Yesterday, as I was standing on the corner in front of the courthouse with my TRUTH JUSTICE KINDNESS sign, a man who was stopped in his car at the stoplight, honked and gave me a “thumbs down.” I pointed to each word on my sign, smiling and with my eyebrows raised in question. Truth? Thumbs down. Justice? Thumbs down. Kindness? Thumbs down. And now I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. What the heck?! Seriously?! What the heck?! The man holding a sign next to me started laughing, too. It was just too classic, you know? And we stood there, together, laughing at the sad ridiculousness of it all. I haven’t had such a good laugh in days. “Bless his heart,” I said, and we laughed some more.

But the thing is, I really meant that: Bless his heart. I found I wanted nothing but good for the thumbs-down-man. Bless his heart. Help him find himself as God’s innocent, loving child again – the child, expression, manifestation, idea, image and likeness of his Creator – Love and Truth – never separated for a moment from all that’s good.

Bless us ALL. Each and every beautiful one of us. Heal our hardened hearts. Help us to know ourselves as the precious children of our Father-Mother God – as the reflections of Love.

Amen.

(Still laughing.) 😀
