A Smile

Music playing on the internet.
Joy in listening to something truly moving.
Melody touching the heart.
Words unknown. Not English.
But meaningful.
Words being music along with the chords.
Smiling.
Listening. Feeling. Believing.

Is God us?
Do we have the ability to transcend the banal?
Watching a child and contemplating.
Smiling.

A word stands out. "Von."
Not English but meaning hope.
Icelandic. The Sagas.
Soul touching. Soul Searching.
Perhaps there is hope.
Smiling.

The touch of a hand.
A word of comfort.
Feeding the hungry.
Leaving religion behind and being a true humanist.
A smile can change the world.
