Kindness is an act of grace and beauty; one that can lift a broken heart or restore hope in a person’s life. Often, people do not know what to say when confronted with a friend or family member who is experiencing loss or a very difficult challenge in their lives. Sometimes, words need not be said; extending kindness is the language of the soul, one that can be heard and felt at all levels of a person’s being.The Dalai Lama’s words “there is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart is my temples; my philosophy is kindness”are words that express a simple, yet profound path, where one lives in connection to God/Spirit, as kindness is an expression of love.
The next time, you meet someone in need and are at loss for words, extend kindness. If you are experiencing loss, be kind to yourself; allow yourself to grieve and nurture the beautiful soul that you are by meditating, exploring your connection to your divinity, caring for your body, and letting others help you.
Affirmation: ” I am receptive to giving and receiving kindness. Kindness opens hearts and allows grace to surround me.”
Love is The Answer 
Hi Marie,
I delight in your words as I reflect on kindness today. I remember to be kind to myself so I can share kindness to others. Yes sometimes there are no words to express what’s in the heart but a smile, a hug, the energy of love and compassion is kindness expressed. And hearts are comforted. Thank you for these loving thoughts. Namaste.
Michelle, so happy to see you in my blog. 🙂 Yes, just a smile or hug or a listening ear is sometimes sufficient. When I have had my challenges, the kindness of loved one and strangers have lifted me up, and it stays with me forever. I have the memory of an elephant when it comes to kindness. LOL. Do you have a blog on on WorPress?
Hahahaha it is funny that you asked. Daisy and I are planning to create a website with our names as the web address. It’s creating a home online, I guess. Will tell you when it is up and about!
Now the elephant? Hmmm you should tell me about that. 😀
HA! I must have picked up something energetically. 🙂 Seriously, wonderful that you are planning on new website with your names. You both have done shows and seminars, so having your names as the title sounds very good. Daisy is an artist, so can imagine the beauty of the site!
Yes you must have! 😀 Marie, I have something to ask you, will email you about it.
Okay!
I love the photo that accompanied this post. I am one who has difficulty with words when talking to someone experiencing sorrow. I am thankful that sometimes a hug, or even keeping company in silence, speaks volumes.
Jannatwrites, Thank you! Yes, sometimes a gesture can speak more than words. I remember when my 18 year old nephew suddenly passed away 6 years ago, one of my best friends just hugged me tightly without words, and I felt the love and very comforted.
A reminder to just accept that love, that acceptance, without condition, is grace. Grace, once felt, is never forgotten.
Cuhome, A beautiful reminder, and so true, grace once felt, is never forgotten, it actually strengthens one.
You my pal are a genius
