Seek Love in Winter's Snow

Winter Stones ~ Canon 30d

Seek Love in the pity of others' woe,

In the gentle relief of another's care,

In the darkness of night and the winter's snow,

In the naked and outcast, seek Love there!

~ William Blake


Winter Beatitudes

Blessed are the poor in spirit,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
For they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
For they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
For they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
For they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.


Whatever you are, whatever you do, be in love.
~ Rumi


No words from me today. Just love.
