Re-duce, Re-use and Re-cycle by Brenda J Wood

RE-DUCE, RE-USE and RE-CYCLE

So, when chatter doesn’t comfort us;

When our heart lies in tatters;

When we need something short and sweet;

Something comforting;

Loving; Encouraging, maybe even funny?

Is this the book for your needs?
Have you written it already?

Is it hiding in your files, awaiting a re-write?

This morning the sunrise glistens our face.

It’s too bright to see or work.

We cover our eyes.

We can’t read for the strength of its glow.

Yet, five minutes later our feet are aglow instead.

All sorts of possibilities are available to us,

But only for a very short time.

What will it take for us to use what we have at hand?

A word of praise, a whisper of forgiveness, a contest entry, a smile of encouragement or a thoughtful gesture, a quick prayer: help me God?

For the sun’s rays pass quickly. Before we know it, another person stands in its light and we might have missed our chance.

DUCE- A person who guides, rules or inspires.

USE-to take or consume something from a limited supply, to work at something until nothing is left.

CYCLE- events regularly repeated in same order.

Be that DUCE. USE what you have. Cycle as often as necessary. If nothing else, it will comfort you to realize that you’ve used every particle of your being to better the world and to relieve your own heart.
