Finding Kindness

Some lovely thoughts from my mother...

My belief was that kindness

was the territory of the timid

belied by their martyrdom.

My belief was that kindness

was the tool of the rich

to flaunt their superiority.

My belief was that kindness

was a prescribed social nicety.

Turns out - I was wrong.

The Dalai Lama says,

My religion is kindness.

It was the kindness of strangers

that started it.

Random acts and sweet surprises

that made me realize

The world's machinations are

greased by generosity.

Turns out - that to realize a truth

at times it needs to be

out of context.

The Dalai Lama says,

My religion is kindness.

Then it was the self-view

that cemented it.

Discovering that kindness for oneself

can be the most difficult

for this North American soul.

Kindness that cuts through contempt

to provide warm relief and release.

Turns out - that repeated applications of kindness

gentles the mind.

The Dalai Lama says,

My religion is kindness.

Turns out -

Kindness is a force

and

Peace is it's twin.

Turns out -

Kindness creates potential

for love of ourselves

and

love by others.

Turns out -

Kindness is a necessity

on the road to freedom.

The Dalai Lama says,

My religion is kindness.

Hairfull

The time of day

Well I suppose I haven't really updated the world (whoever happens upon my page really) in my recent activities as of late...aka, what I actually DO on a regular basis.
I'm in my third? month of German classes here, and doing intensive classes, so everyday for 5 hours, and then usually going to University after that and umm...that's about it really. As of April also I've been spending far too much time at the gym, and I'm sure I'll write something nice and descriptive about the gym "type" as well...aka the people I come into contact with on a regular basis there. Let's just say there is FAR too much testosterone in the building. I'm still doing as much circus as possible and also have a performance coming up in Berlin...I will post that goodness separately, and probably next. I've also made myself a new website (don't run off and check it yet, hold yourself!) because I decided that I didn't like it and am remaking it all, but in flash this time, so I have about a third left to go and will let you know when it happens, or at least I'll let you know eventually! Probably sooner rather than later due to my excitement over it. I've also started taking singing lessons again which is nice, and have a fantasy of being a lounge singer. Possibly on a cruise ship.
Another fun fact is that I just finished a Master Cleanse. So I get to start eating tomorrow again after 15 days of drinking lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper, as well as my protein drinks just to make sure I didn't loose any of my massive hulking muscles. It's been an experience, much easier than expected but I'm discouraged to write about it due to the overwhelming amount of text and experiences posted all over the internet, I'm frankly bored to death of everyone and their damn personal experiences...so I won't write my own. Maybe later.
I've decided I need to do more writing in order to preserve those moments every so often in life in which you wish to relive...but well, that can wait for now, my balcony and the sun are calling me first.
