#RandomActsofKindnessDay

 

There is some irony in the hashtag. Today is

#RandomActsofKindnessDay

On this day, we tweet and we post.

Hashtags to flaunt, kindness to boast.

A day to be kind, as if it's a task.

"Do good deeds," our social feeds ask.

But why, oh why, do we need  reminders?

Is kindness so rare, that we wear blinders?

Shouldn't it weave through our daily thread,

Not just on days when hashtags are spread?

Should kindness not be our everyday quest?

Compassion the core of our heart's daily vest.

Lives have worth, without the #sign.

Kindness not staged for a digital reaction.

But the essence of our daily interaction.

Éphémère Joie and Time

This is a poetic reminder on the transient nature of time and inspired by Edith Piaf’s "La Vie en Rose,” and her other music. It encourages us to cherish each ephemeral moment, and be supported by joy. It explores themes of empathy, radiance, and the tenderness found in our shared human experience. Ultimately, it's an ode to seizing the present, holding tight to cherished moments, and discovering joy amidst life's ever-evolving tempo, echoing the optimism and rosy glow of "La Vie en Rose."

Éphémère Joie and Time 

(Ephemeral joy and time)

Dans la danse des jours,  a ephemeral fleet

(In the dance of days)

Les mois s'envolent,  moments so sweet.

(The months fly by)

Où sont passés les jours,  oh, so fast

(Where have the days gone)

Jamais revenir,  from the past 

(Never coming back)

Serre fort,  each moment just right

(Hold tight)

Soutenu par la joie, day and night 

(Supported by joy)

Le temps n'attend personne, c'est true

(Time waits for no one, its)

Nos vies valent la peine, cherish it anew

(Our lives have worth)

Dans l'étreinte tendre, a life of empathy
(In the tender embrace)
L'éclat d'âme, a radiant symphony
(The radiance of the soul)
L'esprit tendre chuchote, soft and clear
(The tender spirit whispers)
Chéris chaque instant, hold it near.
(Cherish each moment.)

À travers le temps, where memories beat.
(Through time)

Les mois s'envolent, leaving traces so sweet.
(The months fly by)
Serre fort, cher ami, let optimism anew
(Hold tight, dear friend)
Dans la vie en rose, find joy in you.
(In life’s rosy glow)

Contemplation

The purpose of human existence is to seek meaning in the mysteries of life. - Hari Srinivasan

Contemplation

Altruism is the radiant light of compassion that illuminates the interconnectedness of all beings, reminding us that our true fulfillment lies not solely in self-interest but in the profound joy of lifting others toward their own potential.

In daily life, practice altruism by embracing small acts of kindness, listening with empathy, and extending a helping hand whenever you can, for it is in these moments that the beauty of our shared humanity truly shines.
