“Before you know what kindness really is
you must lose things…”
-Naomi Shihab Nye
I keep thinking of the above line all week, turning it over in my mind like a stone in a tumbler. I recommend listening to the whole poem read by Naomi Shihab Nye on this podcast where you also get to hear the quite amazing story of how the poem came to be. You can also read the poem here.
Earlier this week I was so moved by this conversation with the psychologist Phil Stutz on the Rich Roll podcast.
“He (Levar Burton) was on TV as himself - that’s powerful.” Butterfly in the Sky trailer for a new documentary about Reading Rainbow. I can’t wait for this film!
Back to Naomi’s poem which has brought me to a question I’m living with:
“Where can I be more open to giving AND receiving kindness?”
wishing you a beautiful summer weekend,
Anna Marie
