“My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.” – Dalai Lama
In every tradition: Christian, Islam, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikhism, Judaism, Baha’i, “Nones” and more – the message is the same – Be Kind.
My wish for each of us, for everything around us, and for this world we all call home is … kindness.
Make a choice of kindness, then let everything flow from that simple start.
“In the ordinary choices of every day we begin to change the direction of our lives.” – Eknath Easwaran
Epilogue
Enjoy this message and the sweet voice from Rana DiOrio.
I believe this and try every encounter to embrace kindness. I failed this am once and raged at young driver who cut me off. There’s always another opportunity any minute to try again. Peace to you Bruce.
Mary –
Thanks for your comment. I’m sorry you “misbehaved” this morning, but as you say, you’ll have an opportunity to “fix” this very soon. I’m grateful for folks who recognize these opportunities.
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
– Bruce
Thank all of you for your many kindnesses over the years. A very special wish for all the McIntyres, May you have a Christmas season full of joy, love and peace
Mary Lou –
Thank you and the best of everything to you and yours as well.
Merry Christmas.
– Bruce
Etched on the outside wall of my seminary chapel are the words: “I have called you to go forth and bear fruit and your fruit shall remain.” I’m sure one of those fruits is kindness. Others can come and pick kindness off our fruit tree or we can take it to them!
Jack –
Thanks for this, it’s a wonderful idea – people can pick the kindness or we can take it to them – our kindness is abundant.
Merry Christmas my friend,
– Bruce
A recent quote caught my attention. “Kindness is a language the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” Amen.
George –
How true. That is a lovely quote. Happy New Year.
