Why Not


Kindness shows up 

in the strangest places. 

The first was while 

I took out the trash. 


The second came while 

I took a seat on the bus. 

What could be more strange? 

Two days in a row! 


In these unsettled days of 

cultural upheaval and 

mudslinging, it was a

very welcome warmth. 


I wonder. Could random acts of kindness 

and the soul softening they bring 

waft upwards through the layers 

of harsh political jousting?


“If the flap of a butterfly’s wings can be instrumental in generating a tornado, 

it can equally well be instrumental in preventing a tornado”

~ Edward Lorenz, mathematician and meteorologist
