Season of Nonviolence - Day 38

Welcome to Day 38 of the Season of Nonviolence – 64 Days of peaceful wisdom honoring the lives and nonviolent principles of Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Cesar Chavez.

Nonviolence begins with learning how to be less violent and more compassionate towards ourselves. We learn by building the courage to speak and act with respect, honor and reverence for our own being.

Eleanor Roosevelt has urged, "You must do the things that you think you cannot do." Practicing these 64 Ways will challenge you to do things that you think you cannot do.



Day 38: KINDNESS

Every day we hear of random and senseless acts of violence.  By participating in the counter-revolution of kindness started by Anne Herbert you are contributing to a culture of nonviolence.

"Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty." ~ Anonymous

 "My religion is kindness." ~ The Dalai Lama

Today:  I will do something kind for someone for no reason other than to be kind.  I will bring beauty to a place where it may be needed without letting anyone know that I was  the one who did it.  I will write about how it felt and then share this story with someone.
