“Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.”—Henry Ford—
The lichen is a combination of algae for nourishment and fungus for structure. The residue of the lichen washes down to feed the flower which flew in as a wild seed on a breeze. They all live together. The flower is the philosopher of the group.
If your life is not going as well as you would like, if you are having a hard or otherwise unhappy time, find someone who will share with you and help you to work things out. This makes it easier.
If your life is going well, if you are happy and enjoying yourself, then find someone who needs your help and listen to them. Your listening will be like the nourishment washing down on the flower.
And don’t forget to share a smile
Everything is going to be all right.
John P. Schulz—“Sweetie Drives on Chemo Days.”
