The Kindness Connection

Posted on March 22, 2013 by russtowne

It happens every time
I experience
Love in Action
Whether it’s
Kindness to me
From me
Or to others by others
I feel a connection
To humankind
The spirit within me
And the universe
That makes my heart smile
Fills me with gratitude
To be alive
And part of it all.
–Russ Towne

Hat tip to Bill for the “Kindness is love in action” concept. “Love in action” has become my life motto and mantra. It is amazing how simply sharing a few words with someone can be a huge gift. Yours certainly are to me, Bill. Thank you.
