ADVENT LETTER #9
Change and Evolve goes Christmas 🎄

📚My Poem of the Day
The English poet Florence Margaret Smith (1902-1971) wrote under the name Stevie Smith.
„Pad Pad“ by Stevie Smith is such a sad and yet beautiful poem. It speaks of the end of a great love. And even if you are hurt and aching, you would rather feel that than nothing at all. But eventually you know that you must go… ‘softly’.
Pad, Pad
I always remember your beautiful flowers
And the beautiful kimono you wore
When you sat on the couch
With that tigerish crouch
And told me you loved me no more.
What I cannot remember is how I felt when you were unkind
All I know is, if you were unkind now I should not mind.
Ah me, the power to feel exaggerated, angry and sad
The years have taken from me. Softly I go now, pad pad.
🎶My Song of the Day
Today’s song is “Don’t Look Back In Anger” by Oasis

👀Impressions of the Day
This is a photo my son sent me when he spent time with his dad on a boat on the river Rhine in September, getting up very early (really unusual for him) to take this breathtaking photo of the sunrise in the morning fog.
💭Thought of the Day
“Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.”
― Mark Twain
Forgive others and yourself. When you forgive, you set yourself free from resentment and pain. It’s not about the other person. It’s about you.
“Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.
