Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Feeling My Heart Expand By The Minute


--by whalesong7, posted Jul 13, 2016
I have usually driven by the folks at the intersection who are asking for help. I've noticed so many people asking and I often feel overwhelmed. Today I felt more open, so I stopped and asked the man what one item he would like me to buy him at the food store (where I was headed).

I felt joyful to be connecting and caring. By the time I got to the store I had expanded more and decided to get him not just the chocolate milk he asked for, but also an apple, cheese and meat jerky. I felt excited about creating a delightful snack. I was so happy to be in the experience of creating a nurturing surprise,.rather than trying to figure out how to not be overwhelmed. I'm so grateful for this expanded experience.
