Be Gentle

And a friend, in her way, reminds me to:

:::

be

gentle

with

your

beautiful

self

:::

little tiny deaths to my ego
little tiny births in my heart
hugs all around

  1. jenny a long time ago i had a dream in which a person i have never met but who i know said to me "be kind to yourself". it was said in the most hushed and loving manner. the phrase spoken by mr. j.g. bennett resonates at times when i am not being kind to my self. what a gift. steven

  4. I once saw a bumper sticker in Sebastopol that said, "Be Extremely Kind to Yourself" and I've remembered it and thought if I ever saw it for sale I'd put it on my car's bumper. But I already have one that says, "Kindness is Good Karma." which I like pretty well...
