“Do not let the birds of worry build a nest in your hair” …Lao Tzu
Spring Lake, Alberta, Canada, August 2013; Photo Credit: Jane H Johann
In other words, don’t let the opinions of others–
stop you from hearing your own inner voice!
Those crazy opinions
will be flying all around you…
sometimes engulfing you…
but do not let them land on you!
–and build a nest in your hair!
Worry…wears a person down
Dispel the worries!
Let LOVE thoughts invade you
Be a blessing to others…
we are interconnected–
Light beings of love!
Let us pray for each other!
and
Be a Blessing to each other!
Footprints of Thoughts 
Amen…..well said Jane.

John, you are so kind! I need to head back to your blog and read the new short story you have published! I began to read it—I have my grandchildren with me—and they took me away…but they are sleeping now…so I am going there to read for my “midnight literary snack!” Thank you for your kind words!
