The concept of What Gift Shall I Bring? is really stretching
me. The gift of kindness?! Of course I want to bring that, always, and yet
lately I have come to see kindness as sometimes detrimental.
I have been noticing with certain people the kinder I am,
the greater the distance grows BEtween us.
Perhaps I am NOT on point with this, NOT seeing it clearly,
and I surely know I am too wrapped inside my own feelings to have the proper
perspective.
And still, I canNOT help but see this in just this way.
On the other hand… it seems that the kinder I feel I am BEing
treated, the less resistant I feel to BE kind toward EVERYone, and especially
those who seem to move away from rather than toward me.
Yesterday I was treated to the hot fudge sundae with extra
whipped cream, cherries, and nuts sort of kindness by a friend who carved out
the time for me to just talk about and through somethings. While it is NOT my
favourite thing to talk on the phone, my options are limited and WOW!!! what a
difference that time, and my friend’s kindness to ME made. [and is making]
I don’t everything sewn-up and sorted-out. Yet I feel
understood, heard, and encouraged.
And that’s amazing!!
I love you, Currie
