How to harness that power may be as simple as believing. I often think of the words in the song, 'Amazing Grace' ("how precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed"). Meditation is one way, but simply being kind, thinking and praying for each other, for good to win over evil, etc. I think there will be rainbows... but it may be necessary to get through the storm first.

Can it be done?"<br /><br />Yes, I'd like to think so. I think the majority of us would like to make the world a better place and the only way to do that is to take steps to spread kindness and love around; which you do on a daily basis...and that, my friend, makes the world a better place.Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467164195744234746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-12115615585374801602022-08-07T13:34:37.294-07:002022-08-07T13:34:37.294-07:00One of the things I admire about you is your abili...One of the things I admire about you is your ability to put together an interesting post every Sunday morning without fail. I really don’t know how you do it. It takes me a couple of weeks just to put one post together and it’s always a challenge to get it all finished and decide when to hit the “Publish” button. I’ve been following Eye for years because you almost always write about something that interests me. Recently, you’ve been giving me some good books to add to my Kindle library. I’m almost finished with Ruth’s book and have found it fascinating. Lastly, I love the Lincoln quote. So true! Hope you and SG have a good week ahead.

You seem to have your own spires of goodness (like a copper Sun wall hanging) and they do inspire me to do and feel the same. By the way, I especially like that Amelia Earhart quote. 🙂ApacheDughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520433539816634566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-86297704615289438102022-08-07T11:46:26.048-07:002022-08-07T11:46:26.048-07:00HOORAY for kindness, and the beauty that grows wit...HOORAY for kindness, and the beauty that grows with it.

From shoot to stem to bud to flower they emerge to beauty and then slowly begin to fade. As old blooms fade new ones are opening from fat buds along the stem. Eventually their time runs out, but left in place the foliage turns golden before their winder demise. <br /><br />Humans fortunately have, hopefully, a much longer life cycle of birth and growth and repeated blooming before we reach our golden stage. But time matters, at least to me. Now that my blooms are fading, I find that the most significant thing I can do with my time is BE KIND! Spreading smiles and sometimes laughter really works to bring the "golden: into my life as well as to others. If I can get a smile out of an overworked clerk or waiter or other service person it makes my day. <br />As you can see, your post once again stimulated my brain. That too is an act of kindness for me. <br />Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-86217100547389659302022-08-07T08:46:49.073-07:002022-08-07T08:46:49.073-07:00I totally believe in the contagion of kindness.
