My Two Shekels
…a bit of friendly philosophizing
During these days of Covid, I find myself quickly jotting “Be well” at the end of an email, or singing “Be Well” into the phone just before hanging up.
But this morning it hits me:be well…be well…be a well…
And I realize how fraught with meaning my everyday interactions can be if I just take time to think, to avail myself of the moment’s inspirations, if I reflect upon the words I use, the layers of meaning they suggest.
*Be Well*
So I whisper the words, draw them out in long breaths, in then slowly out again.
*bee-ahh-well*
Imagin…
An abundance of water falling from the clouds
gathering into a pool at my feet
collecting in my cupped hands
Spilling out and over
into a dish
a basin
a well.
And I see…
the image of a thirsty child, a world-weary old couple, joyous young people celebrating the renewal of Love and Life.
And in the midst of it all, a well–ever open to receive water, ever willing to dispense what it has received.
Yes, I would be that well, and wish you to be that well–to everyone we love and cherish, to everyone we meet.
So I ask you, please share what you are, what you have, what you bring to this world, to this single and singular moment.
Be a well, my Darlings, be well!

Beautiful!
Thank you so much for your kind words, it’s so sweet of you to drop in, to take time to comment, l’shalom! *sun rising over mountains**yellow butterflies**children embracing*
My pleasure, dear friend. I don’t always have time to comment, but I always read and enjoy your blog posts.
I’m so delighted to share the journey with you, and look forward to getting better acquainted along the way, my dear.
*sea bird flying into twilight sun*
I am looking forward as well, darling.
May we all find that ability, to be able to capture, distill and pass along that which we received gratis.
Amen…thanks for sharing the journey, dear friend!
beautiful reminder, Joan. Our words have such power. So does chosen silence.
I am grateful for you.
And I for you, dear Shelly, so sweet to know you are reading…love and sweetness to you!
