Kindness encourages stories
from those too reluctant to share
from youth full of inspiration
from musicians just developing
even from the discouraged
unaware their tale lacks worth.
Each one a record-keeper
harbouring intricate plot lines
uniquely brewed, the telling
a revelation – find a good ear,
or a patient pen, and express.

I recently listened to a podcast about kindness. I hope this is becoming a theme! I also appreciate the notion of kindness encouraging stories.

Wow! What a superb piece! “find a good ear,
or a patient pen, and express.” – fabulous lines!
Your photo reminds me of when I lived in New Jersey and The Blizzard of 1996! I had just moved from Florida and I think I am the only one that thought a blizzard was fun.

You would be the only one…well, except for my husband, who loves to go out in storms. Thanks.

Couldn’t it? It was taken on our first snow day and I was driving – that’s a story in itself.
