Connective kindness..... Posted Feb 8, 2012 08:12 PM
“Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.” *Albert Schweitzer< /div> 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!* Originally posted at http://pleemiller.blogspot.com/2012/02/connective-kindness.html

Hello Braveheart Sister,

I deeply resonated with your beautiful poem. It seems we are indeed like-minded souls.

When I lived in Eugene, OR, I used to say, "I'm spreading kindness where ever I go because there's not enough of it in the world."

On Facebook, some of us have a movement to spread kindness through our posts and our actions.

Please connect with me here. I'd enjoy meeting you.

You can also connect with me on my Facebook Biz page which is the same name as my Blog here: The Profit Garden.

Thanks,
Sandi Cornez
