It ‘ain’t’ easy to find balance; to stop time and commit moments to memories, but these efforts are essential to one’s soul. Finding the time to fill yourself up with the joys of others is where you can reach the deepest chambers of your heart. We are all in need of the cultural shift that has been presented to us. I believe the increase in awareness will bring about a great societal change.
The loss of one of my heroes, the undeterrable Ruth Bader Ginsberg, has placed me in a sober and thoughtful place. The life work of this amazing focused and dauntless woman was to bring change to a sexist world. By her championing the cause, she was able in her lifetime to bring about a shift in the attitudes, conditions and behaviors that promoted stereotyping of the female gender. She, with her diminutive stature, raised an iron fist for feminism all the while displaying a feminine grace with her lace collars, statement necklaces and silken shawls. I wish I could have thanked her before she left this earth. Yet, I instinctively know she was aware of all the tributes that followed her departure from this world.
We are all in a quandary about where this pandemic will leave us. There is no precedent for the world being upside down. Finding our way to a more spiritual life; learning to be kinder, more patient, more loving will definitely precipitate a movement and bring about new meaning to life itself.
This is the nectar of the Milk of Human Kindness. I hope its topic will plant seeds in your soil and sprout great vines of hope in all.
I leave you with the words of the great songwriter, Randy Newman…”Human Kindness is Overflowing”
