Connective kindness.....

“Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.”

Albert Schweitzer

We humans scurry around,

doing and accomplishing and planning

all the while,

the life we envision,

the life we hope to live,

is right there in front of us.
It-life that is-isn't really about the illusion
we sell to ourself and each other. It is something much more than we even think it might be
and yet something different than we assume it is.
Someone once said, "no man is an island--I'll add no woman is either."
we are part of something bigger than ourself
and many days---well we just don't realize that the world
doesn't revolve around us---and it doesn't and it might even really suck when we do realize it.

There is an unseen connection
tying us all together someway,
in a hidden mysterious way.
We glide past each other
bounce off each other
run into each other
and
pass by
without ever even wondering
what has brought us to a location,
why we are both there at this one moment
at
this particluar place.

In a sense
we are  frosted over,
glossed over, covered in crystals of self absorbancy,
frozen to the world around us.
There is a way to stop it all,
a way to stop
allow the slow simmer to begin
to help our frost to thaw...

When we make a connection
either on purpose or accidently,
potentiality
for change
suddenly begins,
the slow simmering melt begins
the connection
warms our hearts,
shifts our self-centered thinking into we centered
connects us all
in a weird warming kind of way.
Intentional kindness
which
precipitates the formation of swirling bonds,
single, double and triple,
strengthens
humanities
tie to each other.
We become stronger,
more open,
richer and more creative.
our frozen limbs begin to warm
our hearts
our frozen hearts
thaw
and
surges of love
beats through our being
and
suddenly
we
begin to learn
what
living
connectively
is all about...

go ahead
show a random act of kindness
to someone
along the way tomorrow.
don't tell a soul
just do it
and then
watch and feel
as your frozen crystals
melt and run down your heart.

I promise
you
will suddenly learn
what living is all about--

go on out and share a bit of kindness..
I will if you will!

Don't forget to share with me what happened!
