"Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes
ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust
and hostility to evaporate."
Albert Schweitzer
The cold penetrates through our homes as temperatures dip into frigid temperatures. Physically, we can stack on layers of clothing to keep us warm. Perhaps, heavy old quilts wrapped around our shoulders keep in the heat while wool socks warm our feet. Then there is the heart which is turning quite cold.
Turn away the eyes perceiving injustice, cruelty, and dismay. Place a hand on the heart, stilling the mind laced with brittle emotions. There is power to be found when we sit quietly in our own space. Think not of the many falling astray, but hold dear in the heart the multitudes staying the spiritual pace.
Kindness is especially needed right now, for ourselves as well as others. Strength comes by uniting and holding peaceful resolutions, not by seeking isolation. Keep a pile of smiles to be lavishly shared with those who yearn for safe space. Ice cold fear stored in others gently melts by witnessing an offering from a tender loving heart.
