Yesterday I was walking down 23rd Street. I watched a waiter from a diner exit the diner holding the arm of an older woman walking with a cane. I watched him carefully help her across a busy cross street.
They were masked, and I get that they weren’t socially distanced exactly, but I didn’t care. it was a moment of one person helping another.
I haven’t seen much human kindness lately, in a time when it should be abounding.
I am grateful for having witnessed this one seemingly insignificant act of kindness.
Maybe there is hope…
A precious moment that transcends Covid and politics!

That is really nice to hear. I remember one day years or decades ago in New York City crying in the streets. I had just been terminated from a job and a nun came over to speak with me and calm me down. I do remember appreciating this so much! I think I wrote a story about it. Pass the kindness forward.

Compassion is a whisper in a world full of screamers. It doesn’t crave attention. It doesn’t boast. It’s not taking a selfie. It’s not looking for credit. It’s like a rare bird sighting when we witness it.. lucky you. π

Nothing like that is insignificant, maybe somebody else saw that and paid it forward and then someone else saw that and so on. Kindness is never insignificant. Nice to see and hear about it though.

We have to keep looking for hope and kindness. Because you’re right, it’s becoming increasingly rare.
