Be the light you want to see.

Extending Kindness

“Kindness is the light that dissolves all the walls between souls, families and nations.” Paramahansa Yogananda

We are living in a time of great turmoil in the world. Boundaries are shifting, structures falling, and the map is being redrawn. Some days one feels completely impotent in the face of all the mayhem and bloodshed. What can ordinary people do to bring peace even to their own minds? Not much, it seems.

When the world is in chaos, the only avenue open to us is to wait and pray, and to extend kindness to one another. All actions are vibrations of energy, and the energy of kindness has a positive effect on everyone who receives it. If enough of us are vessels of kindness, we can extend this positive energy far beyond our own personal sphere of influence. As each of us exudes kindness, extended to as many people as we can reach, that blessing travels from soul to soul, and out into the world.

When you are feeling helpless in the face of all the anger and bloodshed, seek beauty, extend kindness, be the light that you want to see. And don't forget to call upon God for strength and energy so that you will have sufficient resources to be that light for one another.
