Jan 1, 2022: Several years ago I invited a Buddhist monk to speak to my Senior elective class, and quite interestingly, as he entered the room, he didn't say a word (that caught everyone's attention). He just walked to the board and wrote this: "EVERYONE WANTS TO SAVE THE WORLD, BUT NO ONE WANTS TO HELP MOM DO THE DISHES." We all laughed. But then he went on to say this to my students: "Statistically, it's highly unlikely that any of you will ever have the opportunity to run into a burning orphanage and rescue an infant. But, in the smallest gesture of kindness - - a warm smile, holding the door for the person behind you, shoveling the driveway of the elderly person next door -- you have committed an act of immeasurable profundity, because to each of us, our life is our universe."
This is my hope for you for the New Year - - that by your smallest acts of kindness, you will save an other's world.</a></label><br><a href="https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/113/757/999/574/356/639/original/67a429290a8412ae.jpeg" rel="external">https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/113/757/999/574/356/639/original/67a429290a8412ae.jpeg</a></li></ol></footer></blockquote>
