Have You Loved Today?

“This is what my soul is telling me: be peaceful and love everyone.” ~ Malala Yousafzai

Have you loved yourself today?

Shown yourself you care?

Smile at your reflection in the mirror. Include your wrinkles, freckles and scars.

Thank your body that moves and feels and breathes.

Notice your muscles, your bones, your heart beating.  Breathe.

Witness your imperfection, the thoughts and feelings you don’t understand.

See yourself with loving kindness.

Love heals, judgment steals.

Love breaks down walls, judgment builds barriers.

Have you loved someone else today?

Shown them that you care?

Smile at the boy in the bus shelter, hooded head hung low.

Thank the grocer who stands and stacks and scans.

Notice the woman in the walker. Hold the door.

Witness the girl with the tattoos and the piercings you don’t understand.

See them with loving kindness.

Whenever you can. Give, receive, show, radiate, be love.

Have you loved today?
