The Daily Inspo/ Kindness Is My Religion

Whether you are young or old…female or male…
may you make extra room for nurturing in your heart…
may you hug a baby…smile at a stranger…
May you hold back just a little in traffic and, just this once,
let an extra pushy driver squeeze right in.
May you say something real to a harried store clerk…
pat a kitty…give a coworker a genuine compliment…
take time to listen deeply to a friend.
Mothers come in many shapes and sizes.
So does “mothering.”
May there be room in our hearts, to receive nurturing, and to give.
