Kindness flows like water
smoothing roughness
softening sharpness
nourishing all it touches
Kindness replenishes
the spirit & the heart
with strength and hope
building bridges of humanity
Kindness is keeping alive the hopes of our better selves;
nurturing the inner wisdom of connection among us all.
With Kindness all things become possible, even the impossible.
Compassion always triumphs over indifference
It is easy to become hardened in our hearts. The pace of the world forces many to put up walls of indifference. Our inner nature cries out to connect with those around us in a meaningful way. Kindness expressed daily in a 1000 small ways is the key that liberates us from personal isolation. The simple kindnesses you express to others benefit you abundantly. They lighten your spirit and bless your path. Kindness offered without question or motive enriches the giver.
Pausing a moment to let a car enter into your lane, holding a door open for someone, sincerely thanking a person who waits on you, are all small, but important ways of expressing kindness. Everyday there are an unlimited number of opportunities to act with kindness to strangers as well as those close to us. With each act of kindness your heart opens a bit more and your sense of isolation diminishes. Developing the habit of being kind changes a person and draws to them many unimagined gifts and blessings.
Blessed are the Kind
for in their hands humanity is nurtured
in their spirits wholeness grows strong
in their presence all things flourish
in a kind heart abundance grows
We all are capable of changing the world through our beliefs and our actions. This is not any great revelation, but we sometimes forget how much power we really have. The way we live our daily lives has an enormous impact on those around us. Remembering to act with kindness and move past our own insecurities is a challenge for us all.
Quan Yin...Goddess of Peace
Mother of Compassion & Kindness
Help me to show unlimited kindness
restore the sacred balance of Yin & Yang … my natural state
keep me grateful for the abundance that has been given me ...
may I remember to always use it well, sharing it with others.
It is easy to get caught up and forget that we are a living, breathing, manifestation of the sacred universe. Remembering who we are makes us strong, kind and unstoppable.
