Kindness Is everlasting

Kindness is everlasting
Simplicity,
kindness
And forgiveness-
These three are
The most powerful branches
Of the life-tree of Christianity.
Kindness is not blindness.
Kindness is oneness-awareness.
Blindness is failure:
Failure within, failure without.
Yesterday I discovered kindness in myself. Today I see how beautiful and soulful I am.
Yesterday I
discovered kindness in humanity.
Today I see how meaningful and
fruitful humanity is.
The awakened
mind
May show kindness
To those who not only do not deserve
it
But also misuse it-alas!
My Lord tells me
That my mind's cleverness-smile
Will never be a match
For my heart's kindness-smile.
You can show your
sweetest kindness
Even to those
Who are vehemently standing
In your way.
But under no circumstances
Must you surrender to their way.
Follow not
Your blindness-mind;
Follow only
Your kindness-heart!
