Unexpected Kindness




I remember taking a walk during a lovely spring afternoon, somewhat gripping with my mind, not feeling completely grounded. As I was walking I approached a courtyard where children were playing, the parents sitting nearby on a bench. As I passed one of the small boys he just turned around and gave me a hug, and then went back to playing again. I wasn't expecting that! My heart was so touched by the simplicity of that child's tender heart. He opened my heart. I felt centered again, all mental reservations and doubts having melted away.
