"Because of your smile,
you make life more beautiful."
Thich Nhat Hanh
The simple task of lifting the ends of our mouth to form a smile can kindle hope in the heart of one other. It doesn't matter where we are ... library, grocery store, church ... the simple gesture of a smile can uplift a spirit faster than a thousand words.
A smiling baby can encourage a stranger to not give up. Even the nod of the head to a person passing by may elevate self-perception. Simple gestures change the world around us. Our kind reflections
encourage the forlorn there is life worth living.
When a smile just doesn't seem to be enough, it is great fun to play an undetected game in public. One simply walks down the street or sits in the midst of a crowd and deliberately extends love or light from the heart. Imagine it spreading from person to person filling them with the warmth of a hug. In time, surely a smile will slide across the face.
