You & Me

The person sitting to your right,

the person sitting to your left may not be your best friend, may not be your lover, soul mate, your life partner.

But they are there, sitting beside you.

It doesn’t matter whether you are listening or sharing; do them the honour of being fully present, focused on this moment that may never come again.

Hear what they say, say what you need, but choose to speak gently, from your heart—understanding that their life, needs, and desires are as important as yours.

The person sitting to your right,

the person sitting to your left, are joined by an unseen energy; unseen as it is, I know you can feel it. For the energy of love and respect is ever-present.

Love others, as you too wish to be loved.
