wonderful
This struck me with a flash of my own insight. I had never thought about things in this light. But the ones I call hero, Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Jane Goodall, and many others are just exactly like that - giving and caring for others - wonderful eye opener - and of course, who is a brighter example than
our Savior, Jesus Christ. Thank you for this lovely and thought-provoking write.

So wise and so true but so hard to do! An exellent pixiku, I have never heard of one of those before now and had to check it out. It's a great one to read for my first one.

I am so honored by the honorable mention you gave me in your contest. Thank you so much. It is a wonderful form of poetry and self-expression - so simple but so profound. This was a great contest and I am so glad I found it while it was still going on.
God bless you mightily! - love, joanne -
Excellent Pixiku and Presentation (picture)
I go back and forth on this but I LOVE this and especially with your picture. I think sometimes that we can be as irresponsibly selfless as selfish. This said, it is such a good feeling giving and I do seem to find enlightenment when I am doing so. I guess just a healthy balance is what is needed. Your Pixiku is one of my favorites now because reminds me of moments when I have shined when I am more other focused than self focused.
Thank You

Its amazing how you can put so much power and depth in a write that is so short...the power of words is very stong if you know how to use them.
Thanks for sharing..
