I do a lot of kind things on an impulse, mostly because I know that if I think about them I will probably will let my head get in front of my heart and then regret not having acted.Today I woke up with the clear idea that I had to send a certain amount of cash to someone I know who is indirectly related to me. The amount was exactly half of what I had in my already very slim bank account.
As you can imagine all sorts of thoughts went through my head but - I can't explain - I just knew I have to do it and do it anonymously.
All I know is that this person has three children around the same age as my daughter and her husband is an alcoholic with an autistic personality, which makes her life very difficult.
Why I had to do this now and not another time I might never know. But I feel it was the right thing to do.

But I found that if you don't feel rich regardless of what your bank account says, having a lot of money won't calm existential fears either... So I hope you're sleeping well and go on doing stuff like that when your heart tells you to. My teacher told me there's difference between spontaneous acts and impulsive acts, the former originating from the deep quiet inside your heart that you might call your soul, or God-within-you. The later originating from the host of habits that make up your ego, like defense, making sure you're safe, etc. Maybe if you look at what you do, you find out what drives you?

Oh what the heck, I will stop rethinking my first impulse toward expressing affection too. I wanted to say I love you, but I thought better of it, well not anymore....
Hey Bluebell, I love you! :P
