I think human beings should have tags that say “Handle With Care” like the ones you see on an item you buy in the store. For some reason we forget that the people we are dealing with moment to moment are much more similar to us that we perceive them to be. I am constantly fooled by the outer appearance, attitude, or role they play in life. If I focus only on what I see with my eyes I will forget to approach them with care. My daily dates with God, if nothing else, remind me to start my day connecting with my heart. Taking the time to do so means I might be open to viewing others with the eyes of my heart as well as my head. It is a practice over and over. We are given the opportunity to step within a mindset of care with each breath we take. In the pause to reconnect with spirit (respiration), we can change the direction of our view to one of care.
