My Charge

Folder: 
Life Lessons

I must not forget the kindness and compassion of my heart
they were and are a part of me.
having forgotten them in place of being hard and defensive.
I now return back to that which I was born into.
Kindness and Compassion for my fellow man and woman.
These are my greatest gifts,
Not great intelligence or wisdom,
Strength or dexterity,
Not any metaphysical sense or talent.
But Kindness and Compassion,
People have said that if you are to kind people will walk all over you.
I know that and accept that.
But know that,
That is there issue not mine.
I will not turn down a hand that needs help
no matter what.
That is what I have been called to do.
That is what being a Healer is about.
Not charging money to write prescriptions,
or perform healing rituals or energy on others.
But out of the kindness of your heart and soul.
This is my charge I was given since birth,
And I accept it with all my heart and soul.
