~a new way of living together is starting to gather and I can hear it coming~
situational kindness isn’t
actually kindness
it’s just the way narcissists
do business
kindness isn’t transactional
~ it’s meant to be transformative
kindness isn’t a contract
~ it’s meant to be a stringless kite
I’ve come to discover that
kindness is the mother
to millions of beautiful children
and she gave every single one of her
children the same name:
“Empathy”
and now the children
of kindness are marching
and now they have
become a movement
and now the ground
is shaking beneath you
and now empathy’s
choir is singing
and now the sky
is raining cherry blossoms
and now it’s your
turn to join them
and now you are with
them as they march
and now you feel your numbness leave
and now you cry for strangers
and now your fists have become cups
and now you are human again
and now everybody is your neighbor
and now you can feel
it coursing through you
~ the desire to forgive your enemy
and you’ll never go back
to the terrible normal you
had gotten so used to
because now you have joined
the flower legion of marching
compassion
because now you have let
Empathy
and her millions
of sisters become your
guides
because now you recognize that
the season of
kindness
has
only just begun
because now you
remember
that you were created
to be the bringer of
light
and now the cherry blossoms
are everywhere

A man who lived in Nazareth once said something so unheard of at that time and in this time too: Love thy Enemy
WE GROW GOD
