Courtesy of the Heart

There is a courtesy of the heart; it is allied to love. From its springs the purest courtesy in the outward behavior. ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Courtesy: the showing of politeness
in one's attitude and behavior toward others.
Courtesy: A spirit, an attitude, a state of mind
virtually nonexistent in interpersonal communication,
in analysis of what "they" are doing, in society,
in Tweets, Facebook posts, news coverage, in "civilization."
When the heart is aligned with a Power Greater than,
with Love as a characteristic, with good...
that is courtesy of the heart, the hope of peace,
of good, of humanity. May courtesy of the heart
become my pattern, my life, my way of seeing humanity
and encouraging other humans to live in peace.
