as a teacher of young children
i am always struck
by the natural way
that children connect with each other
reaching out
with genuine kindness and kinship.

Yes, kindness is the most essential and the most under-rated quality. In today’s Corona time, kindness is what keeps people alive and well, I believe.

Kindness and connection are inherent to our nature. We only learn to hate from others.

maybe people should be required to go back to kindergarten every 5-10 years for a refresher course…

Isn’t that beautiful, Beth? Children have so much goodness in their hearts. While I’m happily retired, I miss being around kids. When this pandemic ends, and the county library reopens, I’m going to see if they’ll let me do a story hour.

Always! Also, they never hold a grudge; angry with each other one minute and best friends a minute later. We adults can learn much from children.
