Yesterday (Nov 13) was World Kindness Day. I have been working
\npretty hard for the past 6 months to organize all the world’s Playback
\nTheatre companies into a one-day event, called Global Playback Theatre
\nfor Kindness Day, and yesterday was the culmination of this.
\nSeveral of the sites were videotaped, and a video will be produced
\nshowing portions of all of these events. I was honored at the
\nevent for my work — both by Global Playback Theatre and by The
\nKindness Campaign — and several of the members of Asheville Homeless
\nNetwork were also there. I also raised another $7 for AHN in
\ndonations at this event.<\/p>\n
The following are quotations from the program for the Asheville event:<\/p>\n
No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted. – Aesop
\nOnly a life lived for others is worth living. – Albert Einstein
\nBlessed is he who speaks a kindness, thrice blessed is he who repeats it. – Arabian proverb
\nIn compassion lies the world’s true strength. – Buddha
\nForget injuries, never forget kindnesses. – Confucius
\nMy religion is simple. My religion is kindness. – Dalai Lama
\nSeek not good from without; seek it within yourselves, or you will never find it. – Epictetus (2nd century c.e.)
\nWe must be the change we wish to see in the world. – Mohandas Gandhi
\nThe fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose. – Hadia Bejar
\nGoodness is the only investment which never fails. – Henry David Thoreau
\nHelp your brother’s boat across, and your own will reach the shore. – Hindu proverb
\nA kind word never broke anyone’s mouth. – Irish proverb
\nDo good and care not to whom. – Italian proverb
\nLife’s most persistent and urgent question is, “What are you doing for others?” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
\nA person’s true wealth is the good he or she does in the world. – Mohammed
\nIf you can’t feed a hundred people, then just feed one. – Mother Teresa
\nAlways be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle. – Plato
\nSeeds of kindness are equal in weight to all the Commandments. – Talmud
\nWe make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give. – Winston Churchill<\/p>\n
I hope these words have brought a touch of kindness to your day.
\nPass them to others, and we will all have years of kindness.<\/p>\n
Hugs,
