Human Kindness

"Yet doe I feare thy Nature, It is too full o' th' Milk of human kindness". Shakespeare's Macbeth.
Although this past week has brought the lowest of lows and the saddest of sadness it has also brought some of those moments that make you think that the world is a good place after all.
Acts of kindness and compassion like...
-a simple cross made by a stranger/ witness at the site of the tragic occurance soon becomes a memorial site
-over 200 stuffed animals and toys and balloons left by strangers on the roadside at the memorial site
- a beautiful charcoal sketch left at the roadside memorial drawn by a stranger
- a stranger mows the lawn on their hottest day of the week
- a large donation made anonymously in little J's name to a Children's Hospital
There's still alot of goodness out there. I think it's going to be ok.
