Kindness

The fruit of kindness taste like a fine strawberry pudding;
One taste - you won’t get enough of it.
You want more. The more you receive, the better you feel.
Oh kindness, you heal the heart of every victim of rudeness.
You remove struggle, you give a troubled mind rest, you are a healer.
You give rest from a heavy load of burdens held within – which we sometimes hide from the public’s hidden eye for reflection.
Your essence calms the sounds of chaos. Your spirit blesses those who waited for your miracle to sprout in their life. 
You bring joy, you cause smiles, you give comfort. 
Everyone deserves to know you. Everyone deserves to feel you. 
You are the wisdom of truth that can transform a world into a heavenly realm. 
The beauty of kindness is so attractive to a point it does feel magical. Such an enchanted divine invincible existence.  Let us be kind to one another. Show kindness to those who need it. Be kind to yourself. We all matter. They all matter. You matter. 
If you are seeking to understand what the meaning of life is and what it is all about – Well, it all starts with kindness. Once you show it, once you sense it, once you see the effect of its outcome, then you already have found your answer.

A heartfelt prose poem and generous meditation on kindness as nourishment, healing, and a force for change. The strawberry-pudding opening gives the abstract theme an immediately warm, sensory welcome, and the repeated affirmations—“We all matter. They all matter. You matter.”—make its compassionate message especially uplifting.
