Kindness is...

"Being kind first to ourselves, by embracing each one of our thoughts and
then manifesting kindness to all beings, by embracing them with all their thoughts."

The only wisdom, is these (poem)

The only way to be, is calm.

The only time to be is, in now.

The only place to be at, is here.

The only route to these, is gratitude.

Neither did I feel full, nor energetic, why did I yield to laziness and eat rotten food? (poem)

I was playing scrabble, was hungry and tired,
I asked my 8 year old to get the nuts from the car,
I started eating and realized immediately, they had gone bad,
but, I continued eating, till my belly felt uneasy with loud noises.

Thank You God, for all the people in my life (poem)

I used to think,
my feelings and pain,
are due to that one person,
but, now, I realize, they are mine.

I used to think,
that person is the cause,
of my feeling drained or uneasy,
but, now, I see, they are helping me Realize.

All I need to do is Surrender (poem)

When someone presses my buttons,
remind me God that its their problem,
and they are simply blaming it onto me,
all I need to do, is surrender my feeling.

My tears revealed my dictionary (poem)

At the dental office,
letting Dentist clean my teeth,
each time it would hurt, I told him,
and he stopped a little before proceeding.

His new assistant,
was constantly commenting,
about how to fill my lost baby tooth,
and dentist was denying most of her ideas.

It was bothering me,
both the uninvited suggestions,
and the constant noise it was creating,
but I chose to keep quiet, focusing on God.

I was hoping to tell,
the dentist at next appointment,
but, something told me to be at ease now,
"Honor your feelings and do something about them."

He was painting my teeth,
I knew the session was almost done,
but from somewhere, I gathered the courage,
to politely yet firmly ask them to stop conversing.

They stopped immediately,
and I wondered despite my uneasiness,
why did I not speak up my discomfort to them,
and the answer was, "Its NOT KIND to stop others."

At home after breakfast,
I asked myself where did I learn,
that kindness means to let others walk over me,
and I saw, "Mama being kind to papa's unkindness."
