Actions speak louder than words…
being by someone’s side,
as they untie the knots that have gathered,
can be what is needed most.
Like a gentle hand on a shoulder.

How true – sometimes it is our presence only that is required.

I came by to wish my friend a Happy Mother’s Day.
Hope you are doing well.
Take care,

I’d love to be the hand of gentleness – but I think I am more like the claw of someone who tries too hard to help.
I love those kind of people who just sit and “be” with you through the rough times – I like their stillness, it’s a comforting presence. -
What a lovely way to start my day! Gentleness! I will pass it on as I go my merry way! Toss it like rose petals all along my ath! ( gee, you made me get all flowery! ..hee hee)

THat is supposed to be Path, not ath…!! Sorry, when I re-read my comment , it sounded SO STRANGE! Yikes!

To listen;not speak.
To understand and show that we understand, by a touch, a smile or a look.
Comfort that comes from the spirit,this says so much. -
Yes, sometimes love can be expressed just by standing gently by anothers side. Thank you for the reminder! Well put.

Listening to someone is often the greatest gift you can give them.
Reading your thought inspiring post is my morning gift.

Regarding gentleness, one of my favorite quotations is this:
It was the love of love,
the love that swallows up all else,
a grateful love,
a love of nature, of people,
of animals,
a love engendering
gentleness and goodness
that moved me
and that I saw in you.”
William Carlos Williams -
Lovely! Happy Mother’s Day!

As “Frans av Assissi ” (that’s his Norwegian name) once said – “The Gospel must be preached, if necessary in words!”

Beautiful…..I never met a cherub I didn’t love!

Lovely and so true… Oh how I would love someone like you to untie my daily knots as the evening progresses… Shall we weave a tapestry together???

Bonjour, I am new here, and will come back often.

I love that gentle thought… That ought to be posted somewhere in my studio.
Have a lovely Mother’s Day. -
“untying the knot that have gathered” I don’t think I’ve ever heard a less judgmental way of characterizing the difficulties we sometimes find ourselves in, whether self-made or otherwise. You have a gentle soul, Corey, and I hope that by reading your words and thoughts that gentleness will seep into me as well.

My little Katie gently cleans a little wound on my back.
