Have you ever noticed that when you are more kind, patient and loving towards yourself, you tend to be more kind, patient and loving toward those around you?
The care I give myself is directly related to the care I give you.
What gets in the way of you giving yourself more care?
I wrote this poem a while back:
Struggle to be kind
The mind, the mind
Spinning stories, daily grind
Someone coming from behind
On a constant rewind
To the end of time?
Struggle to be kind
The mind, the mind
Terrified what I may find
If I be that kind
If I follow the sign
If I risk the dime
If I say that last line
If I give what is mine
Struggle to be kind
The mind, the mind
Is it our design?
To always say I’m fine
To ignore the pine
To discredit the whine
The ties that bind
The fears that blind
Struggle to be kind
The mind, the mind
What happens when I’m kind?
…
What happens when I’m kind?
