It is a beginning.
It is one circle of friends joining together in Clearwater,
Florida.
There is laughter. There is contribution. There is
community.
The laughter, the contribution and the community need to
flow to others.
Won’t you make the circle of friends’ laughter ripple in
your community?
Today, volunteer to give a creative voice to our elders
who are on the edge of memories. Step into a friendship that rewards you. Be
one who honors the journey of another. Hear your heart sing as you make
tired eyes smile.
Visit a circle of friends
Once a week –
Listening to muted voices
Unconditionally –
Noticing who they are disguised in aging bodies
and muddying minds –
Talking with not at
Each friend –
Extending joy, community, love and
Respect.
