Before you understand what kindness really is, you must first lose the things that have significant meaning to you.
You must feel your future dissolving in a moment, like sugar in your coffee.All the things you have saved, all the things you held in your hands, They must go.
Before you learn the tenderness of kindness, You must travel where the injured are left to die on the side of the road.
You must see how this could be you. They were someone who journeyed through the night with their plans and a simple breath that kept them alive.
Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside, you must know sorrow can be deeper. You must wake with sorrow, you must speak it until your voice catches the thread of all sorrows.
It is then that kindness will be truly felt. It is only kindness that will tie your shoes, and walk you out the door the buy your bread and milk. It is only kindness that will raise its head from the crowd of the world and say “Its you I’ve been looking for.” And then goes with you everywhere like a shadow or a friend.
Love and Be Happy and Be Inspired
