"My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue,
An everlasting vision of the ever-changing view
A wondrous woven magic in bits of blue and gold
A tapestry to feel and see, impossible to hold
~ Carole King
Sometimes
when I am reflecting on my blessings or at other times when I am wrestling with
a challenge, snippets of kindness appear in my mind. Almost like a tapestry of kindness. (Yes, I recently saw the Carole King musical.) I actually thought how neat it would be to
be able to wrap myself in a quilt of all that kindness. The images
that pop into my mind range from a visit at an airport from a friend who
brought me a birthday treat to times when dear friends have accompanied me on
special journeys (both joyful and sad).
And I think of how those people stepped out of their lives and into
mine. They were proactive. Which reminds me of something that a dear friend once shared, "When in doubt, reach
out." Because snippets of kindness
stay with us, and both comfort us and remind us of how very blessed we
are.
