The blog will pick a word of the week, to share & explore the selected word. Here’s an expression for the word – strength. “There is tremendous strength in growing our world through sharing together, hoping together & working together” – Mother Teresa
“It’s a quiet night tonight, isn’t it, Piglet?” said Pooh, gazing up at the stars. “It certainly is,” said Piglet. “What do you think the stars talk about?” asked Pooh. Piglet thought for a moment. “I think they talk about light. About how even in the darkest skies, they shine as best as they can, no matter how small they are. Because they know that someone, somewhere is looking up & needs to see them.”
Pooh smiled. “That’s a lovely thought, Piglet. Do you think we’re like that too? Little stars, shining for each other?” Piglet nodded. “Yes, Pooh. I think that’s what we’re meant to do. To be a little light for someone, even when the night feels very big & very dark.” Pooh sat quietly for a moment, then said, “If that’s true, Piglet, then I think you’re the brightest star I know. Even on my gloomiest days, you make me feel like everything will be alright.” “And you’re mine Pooh,” said Piglet softly. “Because with you, I always feel safe, even when the woods seem scary or the path isn’t clear. I feel strong. Some burdens feel lighter when we don’t carry them alone.”
They sat silently under the stars, wrapped in the kind of quiet love & understanding that doesn’t need grand gestures or fancy words. Just presence. Just care. Just two lights shining for each other in the great big world. “What do you think we should do tomorrow?” asked Pooh. “I think we should just keep shining,” said Piglet. So they did. Stronger together. Always.
