Are

The lamp shines on you
 whether you are kind or cranky.  
 The rose spreads its fragrance to all. 
 The sun shines on saints and sinners alike…
The sun isn’t looking for praise 
or the rain for applause…
The tree gives shade 
even if there’s no one to receive it…
These things, like love…simply are, 
regardless of whether someone 
will benefit from them or not. 
 – Joan Borysenko
