Hurricane Kindness

"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand."
~ Henri Nouwen

Hurricanes are scary -- even when they miss you as one just did where I live.  I was touched to receive texts and emails from friends and professional colleagues.  One of them was from a professional colleague whom I have not seen in years, but she always reaches out to me when a hurricane is in my vicinity.  Another email came from a colleague in another country who I know is busy managing hurricane response, but she wrote nonetheless.  It is nice to know that people are thinking about you and hoping that you are okay.
