We see them popping up on random streets in a neighbourly outreach kind of way. We don't know who to thank since no one steps up to claim the credit but it's the community as a whole who benefits in many wondrous ways. The suburbs are delighted to champion these ecofriendly gifts of sharing ~ not only charming but welcomed pointers that goodwill and...

Premium Member Enough with the whispers about kindness when the shadows of night ask you
Enough with the whispers about kindness when the shadows of night ask you to embrace your own gentleness, Enough with the tales of love until your heart becomes the source from which authentic love flows, Enough with praising success until your journey becomes an obsession of self-discovery, Enough with stories of power until you bleed in silence and...

When Life Slips Through Your Toes
They say life slips through our fingers, but I think it slips through our toes, for you never know the day you might... wrong a right dye your hair green out of spite or even take the plunge into death's dreaded depths and... Go And when you do, you might think of all the things you didn't do - all the places you never walked, but more...

Emily,
It made me so sad when you told me that you cut your wrists. And it was made so much worse when you rolled your sleeves down and showed me both of them. "Sorry to change the subject, but I have to ask: what do you want to be when you grow up?" "Once I’m out of this place," you gesticulate around the hollow halls of the hospital. "Once I’m out...

What does it cost?
What does it cost to let a soul bloom and grow, But love and sincerity, my dear fellow? Like a gentle smile on a passing face, Wrapping me like a warm embrace. A soothing hand on my shaking one, Its warmth still lingers though all is gone. A shared laugh in the storm we face, As the gloom fades without a trace. "You...

Premium Member A Simple Hello
If just a hello is all you can say To brighten what might be someone’s bad day, Then that’s what you do. You say a hello. And give what you can that all men might grow. If one little smile is all you can give, To make one life a bit better to live, What else can you do...

Premium Member I'll Sleep in the Sky
Oh abundant child without a care or whim, Am I broken and beaten because of my sin, Am I lonely and sickly because of mistakes, Is your refusal to help me because I'm a fake, If you close your heart to me this is no lie, I will trust in God and sleep in the sky, And you Mrs. Perfect what...

Premium Member Kindness
A little kindness never hurts; helps heal and often mends. Your care soothes and diverts pain of family or friends. A little kindness never hurts. When helping those with needs- sad frown to smile converts. Gifts of words or deeds by selfless acts, comfort reasserts. A little kindness never hurts. Your gifts- large or small; a card, dinner, fresh desserts- or just visits can enthrall. This giving of...

Premium Member My Soul Speaks Kindness
I am feeling like my words need an escape There is no crisis, just my jumbled thoughts and the blank slate of a new day So, I take a deep breath, and let my soul speak to me It tells me that I should be kind today to both others and myself And perhaps go out of my way to help...

Premium Member Kindness can go a long way to help others
His affairs are entirely private, as signified by his facial expression. In his coat pocket, he keeps his old brown mitts. We have observed him on every trip as he travels into the city. His long winter coat is wrapped tightly around his body. Despite 90-degree weather, he smiles and appears friendly. However, he may...

Premium Member DOMINOES
When I was young I loved opening a new box of dominoes from the store and setting them up in different patterns all across the floor. After setting up every domino in the box…every domino…one and all… I’d topple the first one into the second…sit back…and watch all the dominoes fall. The older I got the more intricate and...

THE POWER OF LOVE
When you have none to clean your spectacles, You wait for the miracle, That is when I come to you, And clean it and give it back to you. When you cannot but polish your shoes, And your frail hands tremble, Then I come as the captain of your cruise, As you begin to grumble. Love is filled with gratitude, It does not accompany...
