My heart melts and I so want to help when someone is kind and comes to me with a big smile and open eyes. Kindness, that great companion to compassion, is what we need lots more of. We need kindness to each other, kindness to our Earth, kindness for people we don't know, kindness to animals, all of it. Kindness is uplifting and even healing.

If love is the ultimate healing energy, then kindness is the little healer. Kindness promotes expansion, brakes down barriers, makes things easier, facilitates communication, fosters cooperation. The great thing about kindness is that it's contagious, as CNN reported recently. Wouldn't it be great if we all got infected by this lovely virus?
