The Kindness of Being Helpful

"I'm touched by the idea that when we do things that are useful and helpful -- collecting these shards of spirituality -- that we may be helping to bring about a healing.
― Leonard Nimoy
 
I have a friend, one of the Kindness Muses, who is truly one of the kindest people I know.  The other day, she called me to ask if I still had the clown costume that one of my children had used three years ago for a school activity.  Sure, I said, but I wondered what it was for.  It seems that another mother had approached my friend to see if she had a clown costume.  My friend didn't have the costume. but she took it upon herself to look for it.  I don't know on how many doors she knocked, but when she called me, I was happy to help.
