Autumn Light

"Love is but a song to sing

Fear's the way we die

You can make the mountains ring

Or make the angels cry

Though the bird is on the wing

And you may not know why

Come on people now

Smile on your brother

Everybody get together

Try to love one another

Right now

Some may come and some may go

We shall surely pass

When the one that left us here

Returns for us at last

We are but a moment's sunlight

Fading in the grass

Come on people now

Smile on your brother

Everybody get together

Try to love one another

Right now

Come on people now

Smile on your brother

Everybody get together

Try to love one another

Right now

Come on people now

Smile on your brother

Everybody get together

Try to love one another

Right now

If you hear the song I sing

You will understand (listen!)

You hold the key to love and fear

All in your trembling hand

Just one key unlocks them both

It's there at your command

Come on people now

Smile on your brother

Everybody get together

Try to love one another

Right now

Come on people now

Smile on your brother

Everybody get together

Try to love one another

Right now

I said, come on people now

Smile on your brother

Everybody get together

Try to love one another

Right now

Right now

Right now"

Songwriters: Chester Powers / Chester William Jr. Powers

You will remember is as a song sung by

“We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over.”

On The Goldenrod

How lovely to think that no one need wait a moment. We can start now, start slowly, changing the world. How lovely that everyone, great and small, can make a contribution toward introducing justice straightaway. And you can always, always give something, even if it is only kindness!

—Anne Frank

A Philosophy of the Spirit

Those who make compassion an essential part of their lives find the joy of life. 

Kindness deepens the spirit and 

produces rewards that cannot be completely explained in words. 

It is an experience more powerful than words. 

To become acquainted with kindness one must be prepared to learn new things 

and feel new feelings. 

Kindness is more than a philosophy of the mind. 

It is a philosophy of the spirit.  

—Robert J. Furey

Kind Words

Kind words produce their own image in men’s souls; and a beautiful image it is. They soothe and quiet and comfort the hearer. They shame him out of his sour, morose, unkind feelings. We have not yet begun to use kind words in such abundance as they ought to be used. 

~ Blaise Pascal

Every Single Time ......

Our simple acts of kindness, and our good thoughts and intentions, can and will transform the world, one moment at a time, and one person at a time.
 That is the goal. That is the practice.

5 Thoughts On Kindness

 What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness? 

~ Jean Jacques Rousseau

We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. 

~ Charlie Chaplin

Unexpected kindness is the most powerful, least costly, and most underrated agent of human change. 

~ Bob Kerrey

Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind. 

~ Henry James

The words of kindness are more healing to a drooping heart than balm or honey. 

~ Sarah Fielding

In my opinion - Kindness is the best gift you can give - and the best gift you can receive.
