A Mastery of Most Important Consequence

Very kind friend, Barbara Whitaker, helping at a Christmas celebration.

A Mastery of Most Important Consequence

It is easy to be kind.
Sometimes it is only a
Matter of shutting up or
Of speaking up.
Which is called for,
Calls for skill.

Discussion…

Hopefully this poem doesn't need much elaboration or explanation.  Being kind doesn't always have to complicated.  A simple kind word, a look, or a touch can make big a difference to people in our lives.  Sometimes being kind is doing nothing at all.  Sometimes we need to be quiet and let things be.  The trick is knowing the importance of what to do and when.  That is where skill comes in.  Skill comes from knowledge and putting that knowledge in practice.  Or, maybe skill just comes from dumb luck, I'm not sure.   But, whatever the source, skilled kindness goes along way these days.  skp
