Edit orial: Kindness by Cherie A. Beatty
Queen Elizabeth II? In all the words that were said about
her, the photos of her 70 years on the throne, the
timelines of the important events in world history in
which she participated and the famous people that she
knew, one thing stood out. There were many ordinary
people interviewed by the BBC who talked about their
interactions with her. They didn't talk about her jewels or
her actions of state,; almost universally they talked about
about her kindness, about her ability to put anyone to
whom she spoke at ease, about the things she did quietly
that no one but the recipient of an action ever knew
about. The Queen was kind and for that she was loved.
My first grade teacher, Sister Agnes Marie, used to recite
a little poem-"Kindness", she said," that low sweet root
from which all heavenly virtues shoot." It might have
been as important a lesson in life as teaching us to read
or do arithmetic.
Today it often seems like kindness is a disappearing
virtue but then, look around , like here in the NBCC, and
you find that it's alive and well, working quietly in little
ways. Here's some examples. The people who
volunteered to make a birthday special for someone they
didn't know practiced kindness and did it in the rain.
One of our new members, Edie Maney, shown below,
was recently featured on Channel 5 News in Nashville,
not for doing something huge but for doing something
small. Regularly, Edie, a nationally known artist, goes to
her local animal shelter. While it may sound strange she
reads to cats and dogs that haven't found homes yet or
have lost homes through no fault of their own.
She uses a favorite book
which she calls a book of
kindness. Edie says she
hopes that the good
in
energy and the interaction
and connection she makes
with the animals helps
them feel less lonely, less
afraid. She does it with a
calming voice because she
believes kindness is
understood by all living
things.
Practice it. Pass it on.
Cherie
