Day 1 – Angels of Breath & Skin
The world is too often a sad and dangerous place for many people but we can all be angels of a different kind. In our view, the only thing that can really make a difference is if we work together to embrace kindness, and empathy and teach it to our children. With Love, Laughter and Kindness we learn that we too benefit when we are kind to others.
They’re everywhere in every generation, place and time,
Good Samaritans, they often know no religion and some.
Picking up the wounded of war, disease and life itself
and carrying them to safety – not their duty
but something they can not ‘not do’.
Sometimes, they walk silently alongside your battered mind
when talking is beyond you, and this alone
makes your lonely road less difficult.
To you, they are angels but you know the reality of their breath and skin.
Is it love, you ask, or just a simple human kindness that motivates them?
For seeking no reward, or acclamation – they quietly delight
in seeing you sheltered from the storms that rage
within or without, seeking to destroy you.
So despite your pain, when you look into their smiling eyes you feel a connection
that crosses worlds and oceans and knows no difference
in just one human family.
In that glimpse, you sense you can survive
and live again for the world is yours to share.
Now you may be like them. Perhaps you are?
Kindness for others is such
a small taste of joy,
but enough.
If you share our vision for a kinder world, please share what we do with your friends. We need a community of people supporting us, if not financially through subscriptions (to come), at least by being kind.
What can we do today to make the world a better place today?
