Absence extinguishes a minor passion and intensifies a great one – as the wind blows out a candle but fans a fire.

The reality of the other person lies not in what he reveals to you, but what he cannot reveal to you.
Therefore, if you would understand him, listen not to what he says, but rather to what he does not say.

The really important kind of freedom involves attention, and awareness, and discipline, and effort,  and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them, over and over, in myriad petty little unsexy ways, every day. – from This is Water by David Foster Wallace

Sometimes it seems that all my time is spent picking up the pieces of other people’s lives.

Act of Kindness, Canadian Thanksgiving, Mark Twain, Miraculous Mary medal, Vancouver

© Joan Currie – Lions Gate Bridge

Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
Mark Twain

This past weekend I traveled to Vancouver to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving with my family. One afternoon while we were watching the cargo ships and spawning Chinook salmon from a pier along the Burrard Inlet, my sister-in-law spotted a couple wearing matching pendants and approached the two to get a better look. The ornaments were Miraculous Mary medals and to my surprise, the man gave me his. I was very moved by his act of kindness and will treasure it for years to come!
