What a precious gift is kindness. Don’t we all wish there was more of it in our lives! Isn’t the idea of a truly kind friend something we all cherish, but all too often simply long for?
Kindness sees, kindness understands, but kindness doesn’t judge. Understanding is not blind; judgment is blind. Understanding need not be all knowing. In fact, understanding knows that omniscience is the domain only of the divine. Yet, understanding is inherent in the kindness we mortals are capable of. We don’t have to look far to see that judgment and negativity seem to be the way of this world. Agni (fire) and Soma (water) make up this world. There is an excess of Agni in the world these days. It is the Soma nectar of loving kindness that supports and upholds the very fabric of life. Mount Soma was created to cultivate that nectar of peace and kindness. May we all hold one another in that light of kindness.
Beautiful. One of my favorite lines is “Understanding is not blind; judgement is blind.” We do need to practice more kindness. Thank you for sharing this message.
The light of kindness is a beautiful blog for Father’s Day. May all of us surround those dads with kindness so that strength pours through them in unimagined peaceful ways.
Beautiful pic. I wonder where it came from… but maybe sweeter to not even know?
Beautiful blog for you to write for us on Father’s Day, coming from one I consider to be a Dad to us all. Thank you
