“Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love.” – St. Therese of Lisieux
“There is a kindness that dwells deep down in things; it presides everywhere, often in the places we least expect. The world can be harsh and negative, but if we remain generous and patient, kindness inevitably reveals itself. Something deep in the human soul seems to depend on the presence of kindness; something instinctive in us expects it, and once we sense it we are able to trust and open ourselves.” – John O’Donohue, To Bless the Space Between Us
To not succumb
To wait with joy
To act with compassion
To rest for the long journey
Right action, right timing, right way
Repetition, consistency, constancy
Kindness, small acts, curiosity
These reside, remain, rise
To not stray, to remain steadfast, to love well
The perennial bloom of kindness.
“Curiosity lights our way to compassion.”― Shannan Martin, Start with Hello
