A Poem about Honesty and Authenticity
by Neil Patterson
Honesty's KinSacrifice to beauty worship at the altar of love Surrender to charity, wear integrity like a glove Stand up for what you believe in, in essence know for what it is you care Wherever there may be disharmony validate change aim to be aware Strive to be steadfast do what it is that you must Take time to recover from the realities of life with an amour of trust Laugh for no good reason other than it wells up from within And spills over with affection, to be real is never a sin Be honest but seek truth as it is honesty's kin Show your heart to the world and let your journey recommence or begin Note from webmaster of a-spiritual-journey-of-healing.com, Katherine T Owen Thank you Neil. What wonderful advice. I love the line about smiling for no good reason. It made me smile. :-) It is one of the things I cultivated in the years of being mostly alone – not to wait for someone to be there, but to smile or laugh when alone – at life, at clouds in the sky, at birds walking sideways, at my attempt to harmonise to songs, at myself...a lot at myself. Smiling and laughing are good for you :-) (For anyone who doesn't know, it is scientifically proven.)
