Lean on Me

How often does it feel like you haven't enough energy to meet the coming day? What if someone smiles at you, makes eye contact with understanding or nods in acknowledgment of your fatigue or discouragement?  Even better, a hug or gentle touch on the shoulder conveys concern.  Sometimes we need to physically lean on another person, even for a moment.  Their willingness to support us with their strength is a sign of compassion and caring.  Often that brief connection refreshes us enough to complete our task.  More importantly, on those occasions when we are the ones who needs to be strong, our ability to uphold and encourage someone else assures us of our own inner capacity.  Humanity reflected as a mirror brightens many dark corners.  Our light combined with the light of others changes our corner of the world. What a joy to experience that as a sunrise of light, warmth and hope.
