CREDO

Speak in simple terms.
Seek to be understood.

Strive for clarity.

And be patient.

Keep an open mind.
Show empathy. Be kind.

The world needs
gentleness.

Touch it with loving
hands.

Remember: where you
go,

Others have surely gone,

As others will surely
follow.

Cry, if you must, but
seek,

After, the laughter.

When you balance
things,

You will always find
more good

Than bad, more
laughter

Than tears, more joy

Than sorrow.

This is your world, and

The world is also what
you

Make it. It is all quite

Simple, really –
as simple

As the terms you use.

Go, then, and speak
softly.

- Richard Doiron -
