Maybe it's because
we are used to our old teachers
'critising' our schoolwork
that we are used to being 'judged'
on all levels.
How does it make your feel though?
We need to show ourselves
and others
more kindness today
in order to see that smile
and hear that laugh.
Say "Well Done You"
more than
"You can do better".
And don't just say but DO!
Help the old neighbour next door who can't walk too well,
make that cup of coffee for your work colleague who's just done a 12 hour shift,
or just simply cuddle your son and daughter and say:
"well done for getting through school today".
Don't forget yourself though.
Be Kind to yourself too,
even if it is just sitting down for 10 minutes
with a drink and
reading your favourite book,
because this is also healing.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Two Wrinkles In Time
It is pointless to run, my darling, because sixty seconds ago, I will kill you. My blade will have sliced reality open right in front of you. It will have first pierced it as it would a bed sheet left hanging to dry, flapping in the wind on a Sunday afternoon. But the metal will have drawn a line in the air that the ghostly tear will have followed. Then I, La Dyablès, machete firmly in hand, will have emerged from what your mind, at the time, could only interpret as the other side of here—whatever that means to you. I know. I have seen that look on the faces of countless unlucky… clients. You will not have been the first nor the last to try and reneg on a riches for soul contract only to present this visage to me when I come to collect.

I'm so happy you mentioned being kind to ourselves too. Loved your wonderful poem!
I love this! So important to make time for yourself and be kind to yourself, too. Lovely writing, Ruth.
