Kindness

DESCRIPTION

We can be hard on ourselves, and others
Holding an exacting standard
And then criticising and judging
When we or they inevitably fall short

Kindness is a gentle balm
That makes our relationship with life
Easier and warmer

An attitude of love
That holds the other with regard
And accepts the frailties of being human
Without indulgence or collusion

Let’s dance in search of a more instinctive reflex towards this gift
Cultivating the relaxation of heart and mind
And the generosity of soul
That allow us to meet the world and hold ourselves
With kindness
