Rumi~I Closed My Mouth and Spoke to You


๐Ÿ’“Be Plain Spoken--Speak from the Heart ๐Ÿ’“

'When you do things from your soul,
you feel a river moving in you--a joy.'

Rumi


๐Ÿ’™Listen Carefully๐Ÿ’™

'I closed my mouth and spoke to you.'

Rumi


๐Ÿ’“What is right is always in our deepest heart of hearts๐Ÿ’“

'Only from the heart can you touch the sky.'

Rumi

'In our deepest moments of struggle, frustration, fear, and confusion, we are being called upon to reach in and touch our hearts. Then, we will know what to do, what to say, how to be.'
Roberta Sage Hamilton


When you feel a peaceful joy, that's when you are near truth. 

Rumi

'What is right is always in our deepest heart of hearts. It is from the deepest part of our hearts that we are capable of reaching out and touching another human being. It is, after all, one heart touching another heart.'

Roberta Sage Hamilton

Dialogue to Re-establish Broken Relationships

Choose to step in and actively engage others instead of
stepping around and actively avoiding others.


Speak from the Heart to Create Peace with Loved Ones

Reach into your heart to know what to do, what to say, how to be. Choose to step in and actively engage others from your heart by talking to them instead of about them. Ask clarifying questions and listen with the intention to hear and understand. Seek agreements and facts to find common ground to build up your relationship.

A Dog Lover's Response to its 'Just a Dog'



'Just a Dog' Arrow

My brother, Royce, an avid dog lover, sent me 'Just a Dog' by Richard Biby when my dog, Arrow, recently passed.  I'm sharing it with you now, and adding it to my list of heart-felt things to share with those grieving after the loss of a dog.

Just a Dog 
by Richard Biby

From time to time people tell me to lighten up and say ‘It's just a dog’ or ‘that's a lot of money for just a dog’. They don't understand the distance traveled, time spent or costs involved for ‘just a dog’.

‘Just a dog’ Ginger
๐Ÿ’“Some of my proudest moments have come about with ‘Just a dog’. 
๐Ÿ’™Many hours have passed with my only company being ‘just a dog’
and not once have I felt slighted. 
๐Ÿ’šSome of my saddest moments were brought about by ‘just a dog’. 
๐Ÿ’›In those days of darkness, the gentle touch of ‘just a dog’ provided comfort
and purpose to overcome the day.

If you, too, think its ‘just a dog’, you will probably understand phrases like ‘just a friend’ or ‘just a sunrise’ or ‘just a promise’.

‘Just a dog’ Rosie
๐Ÿ’œ‘Just a dog’ brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. 
๐Ÿ’“‘Just a dog’ brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.
๐Ÿ’™ Because of ‘just a dog’ I will rise early, take long walks, and look longingly to the future.

‘Just a dog’ Ginger
For me and folks like me, it's not ‘just a dog’--It's an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.

'Just a dog’ brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.

‘Just a dog’ Ginger

I hope that someday people can understand it's not ‘just a dog’--It's the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being ‘just a man’ or ‘just a woman’.

So the next time you hear the phrase "Just a dog", smile because they "just don't understand".

‘Just a Sweet-heart' Arrow

Many thanks to Richard Biby for writing this wonderful piece 'Just a Dog'.
