Dedicated to Jaclyn Moore-Bedford
Don’t let your thoughts and words OOlead you to distress.
Don’t think words of distress OOor darkness about another OOfor their roots run deep OOand sprout OOin your experience OOas unpleasantness.
No OOto stress-inducing words OOfrom others.
They are contagious OOand contaminate you OOwith infection, dis-ease, OOor plagues of sorrow.
You dare not contemplate OOthoughts or words of sadness OOfrom the ethers.
Mind your life. Mind your thoughts. Mind your words.
Think on wisdom.
Voice words of power.
Contemplate the definitions OOof opportunity, OOdiscovery, and success.
Declare courage, OOtriumph, OOvitality, and peace.
Your foremost thoughts OOforetell the tale OOof you.
Let your thoughts OOserve you strength.
Let your words OOserve you joy.
