Kindness Challenge

Into the deep well of human kindness is borne a wish 

for only goodness and light,
to ease the troubles of a world
tugging and pulling at right or wrong

It is easy to see the kindness in a smile or hear it in a song.
To practice kindness each day may not be so easy when life hustles and bustles around us.

Accepting this challenge within and to oneself is a good place to start.

Like a ripple in still water kind acts spread gently from the center
To carry sunny smiles and open hands to the next and the next
out from under clouds of fear or mistrust
to stand apart, yet stand beside, in fun, hope and love.

“Ask yourself: Have you been kind today? Make kindness 

your daily modus operandi and change your world.”

~ Annie Lennox
