Love begins with paying attention to others. —John O’Donohue
Do we notice the person we serve when we perform an act of kindness?
When holding a door open for someone at the coffee house, pause, make eye contact, smile. Sometimes a smile is a little nudge of love that can perk up a down day.
When giving the person a couple of dollars to buy a StreetWise, looking at the person, acknowledging their existence. A bit of love’s energy flows to someone who needs it.
When someone speaks, listen with attention.
[Note: StreetWise is a street magazine sold by people without homes or those at-risk for homelessness in Chicago.]
