I am making a home inside myself.

A shelter of kindness where everything is forgiven, everything allowed-

a quiet patch of sunlight to stretch out without hurry,

where all that has been banished and buried is welcomed, spoken, listened to- released.

A fiercely friendly place I can claim as my very own.

I am throwing arms open to the whole of myself-

especially the fearful, fault-finding, falling apart, unfinished parts, knowing

every seed and weed, every drop of rain, has made the soil richer.

I will light a candle, pour a hot cup of tea, gather

around the warmth of my own blazing fire. I will howl

if I want to, knowing this flame can burn through

any perceived problem, any prescribed perfectionism,

any lying limitation, every heavy thing.

I am making a home inside myself

where grace blooms in grand and glorious

abundance, a shelter of kindness that grows

all the truest things.

inquiry for today~ taking time to mirror back others’ goodness…

finding your way….

Your kindness to others sets a positive example. By showing love and compassion, you inspire others to do the same. This creates a ripple effect of kindness and compassion. If we were all to demonstrate kindness in our daily lives, just imagine the impact it would have on the world. Until then, I’ll just keeping pouring out kindness from my little corner of the world.
