True Harmony
I have been busy thinking about
Harmony in our world and our individual lives.
Did you ever stop to consider what true harmony might feel like? Consider for a moment your very favorite
music in the world. How does it make you
feel? That’s harmony! It resonates in your physical body and makes
you happy! Melodies flow in and out, and
intertwine to make a perfect piece of music that has a harmonious effect on you
and on the world. The notes must all
work together each doing their part, but not as strong individually as they are
all together to create this beautiful song or symphony in the world.
Now let’s think about what would
happen if all of us (all of humanity) would work together in the world like
this – each of us doing our own part, carrying our own responsibilities, but
working together to create a beautiful human world without war or poverty or
illness.
Do you remember the old Coke a Cola
song from the 1970’s “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing in Perfect
Harmony?” Well, I have a hunch that we
can begin to do this, with one small act of kindness, followed by another. You see, with one small act of kindness, one
generous thought, a smile to the next person you pass on the street, or
offering a hand to help someone, we will begin our journey towards a better
future, a more humane world. When we
choose to do good, and be kind and generous in the world, it creates more
kindness! Acts of kindness also
reverberate back to us making us feel healthier and happier. It works the same as throwing a small pebble
into a pond. The pebble creates a ripple
effect in concentric circles that radiate out in larger and larger circles,
until it reaches the shore.
Will you join me in being part of
this ripple effect in the world? Just be
kind to the next person you meet (a stranger on the street, or a family member)
and watch your world transform!
