Kindness Takes Time – February 6, 2023

by Tulis McCall | Monday Musings

...this epidemic of good deeds and dispositions was out of my control. I put down my book and watched as the Samaritans began to multiply out on the street. A pizza guy stopped to hold a door open. A woman stood still while her dog said hello to a puppy. A man on his phone paused his call and executed a tiny soccer move to stop something rolling down the street being chased by a panicked teenager.

    Tulis, There is kindness in the world that often hides. Your gift is that you are able to recognize it. Thank you for sharing your musing and your kindness.

    … LOVED this musing… and your resistance / reluctance to ultimately embrace the lesson, in that moment!!!

      Sometimes the spirits just have to hit you over the head with a 2 x 4 in order for you to get the point.

    I absolutely love this essay. I felt hopeful after I took the time to hear it. Time well, and wonderfully, spent.
