It seems the healing a broken world desperately needs today is painfully overwhelming. And trying to find "big" solutions appears far away and not in our grasp. In truth, the healing necessary is right in front of us and really person to person.
Every day in ordinary moments making someone feel cared for, that they matter, and that they belong is the most powerful way to heal. A pebble in a pond makes ripples across the water, and small gentle acts every day profoundly provides sustenance to a community of people who live in a poverty of the spirit. That’s a power we all have in us to exercise whenever we want.

Namaste. Sitting on balcony. Sipping tea. And doing my ritual morning readings. Listening to a city wake up for the day. Quick beep of traffic noise. Chirping of birds. The sweep of brooms on sidewalk. The distant chants of a people in prayer. Life and God are good. Matthew

I just wonder why it took me so long to know it was person-to-person kindness, instead of the BIG leap that makes the most difference. I'm so thankful that I have discovered the truth of what can change my world and slowly ripple to others.
