kindness

"reality is wholly kind

to everyone and everything" (p?)

hinge

door handle

toothpaste

faucet

chair

table

window

curtain

carpet

refrigerator

me

all the same

all wholly kind

all of service

to the whole

i am not separate

not different

from a chair

a chair simply waits

patiently to be of service

in anyway it can

at any time

it remains what it is

it has a job to do

and there is only kindness

in its purpose

nothing is any different

everywhere i look is a gift

no exceptions

some people might say

that living in a hotel room

with some of my clothes

and art supplies

is a hardship

and i am deprived

nothing could be further from the truth

i have more of everything

than i could ever possibly use

thank you, God
