An interesting word! Now, think about it.
Is it something to eat or something to do?
A warm thick porridge
To fill and to satisfy
Or flying across the snow
As swift dogs pull a sled
Is it too sentimental?
Just mushy romance?
Is it mashing and smashing
To a soft pulpy mess?
Whether cooking something wholesome
Or exclaiming, “charge on”
Let’s look forward, seek always
For good and our best
From “Words of Interest”

• Calmness brings soothing respite
• Words washing like gentle rains will soften the earth
• The right ingredients from a pure heart bring healing
• Soft words soothe but harsh words destroy
• Smooth speech in a vengeful heart covers a drawn sword
• A wholesome balance is restored with purposeful application
• Joy lights the eyes and shines from soft faces
• Doing what comes naturally is not always a positive thing
• Healthy habits are both internal and external
• For good or ill, we absorb whatever we cover ourselves with
• Worries can be sticky and cause severe irritation
• We are protected from dryness when we stay close to the Source
