We are not broken, we are unfolding – Share an Act of Kindness
Today is my birthday! Another journey completed around the sun and as I look back over this past year, I am overwhelmed by the love and support I have experienced as I pushed myself out of my comfort zone, out of the comfy chair, off the shelf and shared the “me” I am becoming with the world of people I know and will get to know one day.
I have watched my grandchildren grow, been blessed with a great-nephew, learned new things, (still waiting to go new places though I travel ancient roads in my mind). I have tried to be inspirational and found the strength that lies deep within the vulnerable places of life and I have loved hearing from all of you each week.
I am learning to appreciate every day and lean into living in the possible not just the plausible? The world doesn’t have as many mysteries as it used to have. All the continents have been explored, there is no deep dark Africa anymore. Everything’s been mapped out by satellites and sonar. Ahhh, but the mind… the mind holds the infinite, the sum of all possibilities is there waiting to be explored, to be ignited by the call of the wild and to soar into the realm of all that has been, can and will be, when we just turn our imaginations loose. I am excited to be an elder and to feel the freedom that comes with age and understanding, and I am learning how important it is to share our stories.
People!!! Reach for the unknown! It’s what makes you grow. What if Chester Gould hadn’t given Dick Tracy a “watch phone” in his comic strip? We might not be wearing Smart Watches today. Imagination brought our watches to life and human ingenuity made them real. Isn’t that what separates us from say, moonshine? (I borrowed that from someone, if I could just remember who?)
We create our own destiny by the choices we make. “Humanities indomitable spirit will endure, of this, I am sure. I don’t know how. I just know in my heart that it will.” I read somewhere (and I don’t recall where), that “it has since the beginning of time. We are not broken, we are unfolding.”
Isn’t that a beautiful way to view the evolution of humanity, as unfolding? It is an ever-upward spiraling journey that begins with each and every one of us, when you begin to “remember” YOU.
When I began to learn that there was more to ‘Me” than what I did, or what I accomplished in this world, I began to contemplate what it means to learn from and let go of the past, to seek, to find a new path forward with all these lessons I’d learned along the way as my guides. Each experience, each lesson, even when painful to live through, has gifted me something that will hopefully, make things a little easier on down the road.
What I do know I have learned in this past year is that Kindness Matters, that You Matter and that I Matter. Kindness is the threshold by which I choose to measure how I live and love in this world and today, on the beginning of my 73rd journey around the sun, I wish for nothing but kindness.
I know a lot of folks post fundraisers and make donations to wonderful places and things for their birth-day celebrations. I want to propose a birthday challenge for all my readers and followers… let’s flood the internet this weekend with stories of Acts of Kindness.
Be conscious of where you are and what you are doing and LOOK intentionally, for ways to be KIND. Open a door for someone, pay for the car behind you in the drive-up, pick up trash that has blown onto a neighbor’s lawn, wave at complete strangers and wear a smile when you are out and about. Look people in the eyes and acknowledge their presence, share a smile with them, appreciate the bank teller, the grocery clerk, your pharmacist and the server at the drive-up window where you get your favorite snack or drink. Where can you share KINDNESS as you move throughout your world this weekend?
For my birthday wish, please post your stories on my/your social media pages and platforms, write about them and share, share, share. Let’s fill the luminous fibers of the world wide web with love and kindness this weekend.
