We’re saving the world with our smiles because we have love in our hearts and we want to share it, show it, and spread it. It’s the simplest, smallest, most effective gesture we can use, it brings lightness to being and it can flip the day around, bringing sun ray waves to dark mood shades and rain puddle splashes to desert dry sadness.
It’s easy for the mouth to curl upwards and the heart to beat a harmonious tune to skip along to, when the bounce in the step takes us over the moon and through the stars, rolling in Venus and spin twirl dancing with Mercury. It’s a little tougher to remember, when circled by armour and weaponry, where flurries of attack are delivered with tongues or grey, concrete walls, spanning far and wide loom gloomily, where the only contrast in colour is from a sign repeating, ‘No touching, no breathing, no living allowed.’ Or stepping, slipping, suffocating in the quicksand blob of a broken heart. Still, these are the times when it matters most to remember, remember to love.
When we fill ourselves with love in the darkest desolation of our days and the brightest revelation of our nights, we live with a peace that remains throughout all the wild storms that may come and go. It’s not always in the gesture of a smile, ‘We can’t always can,’ says a Spanish Jane Russell, fast becoming a best friend. A great reminder, that we’re not machines on the crystalised conveyor belt of darkness or the sticky thick syrup belt of happiness. The light guides the way, but it can also blind the way. However, the truth and the magic live forever in the feeling of love.
