How do you know me? It's by my smile. I wear it like a marquee inviting those who see it to come closer. Like a soft petaling invitation to kiss, it gently encourages the safety and enjoyment of the encounter. My smile can also bite through the clouds with the whitened army of heroes that decimate moments of gloom and bar any harsh or demanding words of destruction.
My smile can suggest the possibility of a pleasant and joyful moment in time - even an invitation to come closer to the source of the smile- the fueled furnace of a gentle kind heart or the roaring fire for a chosen few. From a distance my smile recognizes and beckons the viewer and like a thread and needle tightens the distance between and secures the seam that binds with its power emanating from joy or love or kindness.
My smile is like a powerful mantra. It can successfully repeat itself anywhere and at anytime and provoke the most profound response, encounter and reward. My smile has always paved the way for me by removing obstacles and allowing me to experience many moments of freedom from fear. My smile has become my weapon of choice; it is disarming and subtle, but conquering and lethal to the boundaries and barriers of separation and prejudice. It is also been a key to open the door to hearts and minds. Somehow, it gives others a sense of peace and allows me to move closer into their inner circle. I have not always appreciated or understood it's great and wonderful power, but as I grow older, I realize that it has allowed me to be welcomed, endeared and cheerfully remembered. I am ever so grateful for that gift; it has been my passport on life's journey and It hasn't expired yet!!
