Kindness




"There is a kindness that dwells deep down in things; it presides everywhere, often in the places we least expect.
"The word kindness has a gentle sound that seems to echo the presence of compassionate goodness. When someone is kind to you, you feel understood and seen. There is no judgment or harsh perception directed toward you. Kindness has gracious eyes; it is not small-minded or competitive; it wants nothing back for itself. "
An Excerpt from To Bless the Space Between Us: A Book of Blessings by John O'Donohue


On Saturday afternoon, I settled down with a cup of tea and was enjoying catching up on my favourite blogs. Zsa Zsa Bellagio's blog I have very recently started following.  I find her topics interesting and varied.


Imagine my surprise to find that I was her  featured post of today http://zsazsabellagio's blog

 
This was totally unexpected and I was impressed at how she  researched and found out so much about me.  I am most grateful for this honour Zsa Zsa.

I emailed Zsa Zsa to thank you. Her response was:- " I really try to feature all the wonderful ladies and artists and followers who participate in the blog! ( especially those like you- who take the time to comment and enjoy! 

Have you experienced kindness from an unexpected source?

    You made me cry. That was too kind and sweet and yes, tears of ... joy ...that I could make your day... that I could make a difference in your day. Thank you... you are very special indeed. ZsaZsa :)

    Kindness is an underrated virtue, but its presence makes bad things bearable and good things a joy. Its impossible not to love someone who is genuinely kind I think! Going over to ZsaZsa's blog to see what she's said :) xxx

    Yes, Helen... the post is beautiful and very well deserved, as you are a very special lady: creative, very gifted and kind. You are kind to everyone and constantly display affection towards others and appreciation of other people's creativity.

    Artists tend to be a bit selfish and self centred (and I know, because I married one!)but YOU... you are the exception! You are very generous and not at all selfish. You love people and I actually would like to thank you for being Helen. I think you are very special, indeed!

    And thank you to ZsaZsa for posting the wonderful, moving images. I love them all... I so "find" my inner self in those colours and images: the boats, the flowers, the colours: you speak a language which is very close to poetry and I love it, Helen! Like Van gogh, you can be "read" and I love your "punctuation!"

    I can tell that you lived by the sea. There is no escaping from it: you can hear to sound of the mermaids!

    Love

    ANNA

    You have been so kind and generous with your words of praise, encouragement and friendship.
    I hope I can live up to these expectations.
    I believe it takes one who was born by the ocean to recognize it in another. The connection to mermaids, I cannot say I met one. Seals I met many and they used sit on the rocks outside my bedroom window and bark and make the most wonderful racket.

    Anna, thank you for your friendship and the joy your bring in your posts.

    Hello Helen:
    Our cup has indeed been running over with kindness from both usual and unexpected sources through all our recent troubles. The kindness of strangers has, we have to say, been the most disarming, it really does reduce one to tears.

    Your work very much deserves wide recognition. It has a vitality and a confidence with colour that makes it remarkable in our view. And you, of course, dearest Helen, have been kindness itself to us and for that we are very, very grateful.

    I remember I was on the bridge to Sausalito some fifteen years ago and saw ahead of me on a bumper the words, 'Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.'

    Those words became grafted into who I am, and though the atoms in our bodies turn over completely in seven years -- it is still a part of me.

    A beautiful topic for a blog post, Helen. Thank you.

    Hi Helen,
    I just was catching up on Zsa Zsa today and I saw that she had featured you!!!! I was so excited i ran over to congratulate you, but I guess I'm a little late!! Can I still sneak in a compliment? Because it is quite an honor to appear on her blog, as she only shows the most beautiful of images! And she has certainly found them in your work. I gave her The Blog on Fire Award a month or two ago, as I am blown away by the amount of work she puts into it every single day! So congratulations to the both of you! Mutually kind and mutually Excellent!!!

    Hello Floss

    Thank you for such a beautiful compliment, I must try and live up to what you say. It is always a pleasure hearing from you and reading about your life in France.

    Hello Lindy Lou
    I hope the inclement weather improves and that bright spring sunshine will flow through your window.
    It was indeed a delightful and unexpected surprise to be featured by a blogger whom I respect so much.
    My best

    My dear Helen, you exude kindness and vivacity and you are unfailingly polite and thoughtful. It is a wonderful stroke of luck and honour for me to cultivate a blog friendship with you. You teach me how to be kind and to reach out to those who need most. The composer, Julie Styne once wrote "Make someone happy and you'll be happy too". I think it's very true. I shall check on your recommended ZsaZsa's blog. Thanks again my dear Helen. Yours always, ASD x
