Somewhere in this book so sprawling with fresh ideas and thoughtful images, the author makes the statement that “Kindness is our natural state. The acting of kindness allows us to find a deep and profound connection.”
“A deep and profound connection.”
How true that is, and how important! We are not designed to live alone, to exist in isolation from other human beings. Most of us spend our lives trying to find meaningful connections with others, to become part of the whole of human existence. And, almost miraculously, when we are kind to others, we are making those connections.
This our “natural state,” the author writes, the state where we truly belong, where our souls always have a place, where they find the real joy and fullness of their own existence. I never thought of that before reading the manuscript of this exceptional volume. I know that it is very true. I shall always be greatly indebted to James McReynolds for bringing it so forcefully to my attention.
He is indeed, as Dr. Norman Vincent Peale once anointed him as the Minister of Joy to the World.
