― Margaret Mead
I have a
college friend who is truly one of my kindness muses. He is an example of kindness, always has
been. And probably because of that, I
don't know of a single person who has ever said a mean thing about him. He works overseas, but that is not an
obstacle to his maintaining close and meaningful friendships.
Recently, my
friend shared what an incredible gift of kindness he had received -- a friend
wrote to thank him for being a caring friend.
"Is there a greater gift than to be thanked simply for 'being there'
in human kindness? I'll take that over a
store-bought thank you any day."
My friend
shared that as part of an e-mail in which he observed that "kindness goes
out in concentric circles."
