Six Word Fridays ~ Gentleness

"The finest workers in stone are

not copper or steal tools, but

merely the gentle touches of air 

and water working at their leisure 

with a liberal allowance of time."

{Henry David Thoreau}

"A gentle answer turns away wrath."

{Proverbs 15:1}

I've seen a few places on

this earth where a river has 

carved for us a rugged canyon.

I've been in a few rooms

in my life where gentler words

could have bridged ugly relationship gaps.

As the earth whispers her secrets

to my spirit, my hope is

to learn from her...and to

practice gentleness...no matter the room.
