Hello, Friend,
Today I’m sending out an invitation. It is not a directive. It is an opportunity for shift. Do with it what you will, but I hope that you consider it. I truly believe that there is nothing more powerful than kindness.
Please don’t mistake kindness for weakness, sometimes kindness is soft and sometimes kindness is a swift kick in the ass with a steel toed boot. Kindness can be standing up for someone else in the face of abuse or oppression. Kindness can be walking away instead of being bated into outrage. Kindness can be as simple as a smile or a touch of a hand or a gesture done quietly and without need for recognition.
Cruel people are weak people, cruelty is weakness. Kindness is powerful. We need kindness more than ever at this moment. I plan to offer it as much as possible, especially when it feels impossible.
“This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.”
The 14th Dalai Lama
Love, Madge a.k.a. Margot
