SMILE FOR SYNERGY

Smile…

for health, the synergy of all dynamic systems of the body,

for symbiosis, the life-sustaining synergy of all living bodies,

for integrity, the synergy of one’s thoughts, words and deeds,

for friendship, the synergy of lives that deeply touch one another,

for marriage, the synergy of lives vowed to be intertwined till the end,

for ‘kapatiran’ or siblinghood, the synergy of bondings that last,

as ‘fellow-cuttings’ from the same womb branch out and grow apart,

for family, the synergy of marriage, parent-child love, and siblinghood,

born and nurtured in the warm embrace of home,

for teamwork and healthy organizations,

the synergy of common and diverse mental, spiritual and physical

capabilities for the same aims,

for 'bayanihan' and the cooperatives, the synergy of community

resources and efforts for the common good,

for nationhood, the synergy of people sharing

blood, domain and heritage,

for planethood, the “Earth Synergy” of all nations and

races, of all species, of all land, air and water, and of all their energies,

for collective wisdom, the synergy of diverse learnings of diverse minds,

for the Universe, the synergy of all that exist, known and unknown,

for the great and glorious Cosmic Consciousness, the loving Creator

and Synergy of ALL synergies…

Smile for the synergy of all our smiles,

happy and proud to be part of it all.
