Let’s Revive Common Courtesy!

Filosofa's Word

Today is National Common Courtesy Day, according to the National Day Calendar folks.  According to their website …

National Common Courtesy Day on March 21st serves as a reminder of the behavior that keeps society from melting into a sea of madness. In addition, the day brings awareness to how crucial common courtesy is in our lives and provides examples to help us improve.

In the Merriam-Webster dictionary, courtesy is described as a: behavior marked by polished manners or respect for others: courteous behavior b: a courteous and respectful act or expression.

Common courtesy can be as simple as saying “please” and “thank you” when asking for and receiving a service, gift, or assistance.

He notado

A quienes se marcharon de este mundo

He notado, esta mañana, al despertar, que la vida pintó las frondas de los árboles e insertó hojas de intenso verdor y talló las innumerables cortezas, decoró los paisajes con flores de bellos matices y exquisitas fragancias y texturas, colocó los helechos a la sombra de los bosques, conservó los plieques turquesa y jade del océano, acumuló incontables gotas de agua para formar espejos en los lagos y reflejar la profundidad del cielo o pasear y regalar sus encantos por medio de las cascadas y los ríos. He notado, al amanecer y retornar de mis sueños, que la vida, conmigo o sin mí, continúa su sendero, abundante y sin apegos, iniferente al empleo que se haga de sus movimientos y de sus pausas. He notado, también, que la flora y la fauna…

My Life is a Desert

by Dawn Pisturino
site: http://www.dawnpisturino.wordpress.com

My life is a desert. Big and brown and empty.
A chill wind blows sand across my heart,
burying it forever.

Cactus needles pierce my feet and hands,
making the blood flow red.
I place the Crown of Thorns upon my head.

Broken and bent, I ascend the Cross.
Hanging like rotten fruit from a dead tree,
I gaze across the barren landscape and cry,
“My God! My God! Why have You forsaken me?”
