Gestures To Recognize Magnificence




"May I uplift others in the recognition 
of their magnificence."
Danna Faulds

Curious how some people are pivotal in our lives, but they are unaware of the significance they play.  We have the tendency to see wonderful qualities in others before recognizing our own.  The people may even be nameless ... door man, bus driver, cleaning lady or receptionist we greet every day.  We do not possess factual evidence of their origin, but their kindness towards us is like a beacon of light.

What a difference it would make if we simply mentioned how much a person's brief appearance impacted us.  If we used our voice in the simplest of ways and merely said, "Thank you for what you do."  Can you imagine how that might be uplifting to a person who feels invisible to others? 

All of us yearn to be recognized.  With a simple eye contact or a brief hello, our actions can feel like a bath of appreciation.  We do not know the battles others are facing, so our extended hand may save the life of one other.  Recognition is a simple practice of being aware of the radiance surrounding us.
