The more positivity, love and light you reflect, the more light is mirrored your way. Sharing beautiful hellos is the quickest way to earn spiritual brownie points. You should start seeing hellos as small declarations of faith. Every time you say hello to a stranger, your heart acknowledges over and over again that we are all family.","author":"Suzy Kassem","tags":["beautiful","beauty","brownie-point","candle","family","friendliness","friendly","friends","friendship","hate","heart","hello","hellos","human-family","illuminate","indifference","kind","kindness","light","love","loving-others","man","mankind","mirrored","mirroring","neighbor","peace","project","radiate","reflect","reflection","relationships","reward","shine","society","spiritual","spiritual-reward","stranger","truth","united","unity","world-peace"],"id":4563,"author_id":"Suzy+Kassem"},{"text":"A relationship that is truly genuine does not keep changing its colors.

To hear another soul and to whisper to another soul; To be a lantern in the darkness Or an umbrella in a stormy day; To feel much more than know. To be the eyes of an eagle, slope of a mountain; To be a wave understanding the influence of the moon; To be a tree and read the memory of the leaves; To be an insignificant pedestrian on the streets Of crazy cities watching, watching, and watching. To be a smile on the face of a woman And shine in her memory As a moment saved without planning.","author":"Dejan Stojanovic","tags":["cities","colors","darkness","dejan-stojanovic","eagle","ethereal","eyes","face","face-of-a-woman","feel","feelings","fly","flying","imperceptible","invisible","know","lantern","leaves","matter","memory","moment","moon","mountain","pedestrian","planning","poetry","poets","power","read","reality","shapes","shine","smile","soul","sounds","stormy-day","streets","substances","task-of-a-poet","tree","umbrella","understanding","watching","wave","whisper","world"],"id":19421,"author_id":"Dejan+Stojanovic"},{"text":"I preach darkness.
