kindness.is.contagious.

Perhaps it is the season.
Perhaps I am becoming more observant.
Perhaps humanity is just becoming cooler.
Whatever it was, this is the convergence of beauty that I witnessed today on the subway.
 
A man walked on the car with 2 young daughters. Two people got up to move to allow the children a seat with their father.
A elderly man walked on the car, which was packed. He was having difficulty standing and had no where to hold on. A woman sitting about four feet away had a procession of people try to get his attention to offer him her seat.
An old woman entered the train, and then another young woman with a collection of packages. People got up promptly to give them seats.

The only explanation I have is that kindess.is.contagious.
I enjoy when kindness is just...present. Not a revolutionary act that we are suprised about, but something that seems as normal as breathing.

ain't no sunshine.

I came across this today.........You may have already been fortunate enough to hear this version of Bill Wither's "Aint No Sunshine". But if not, its definetly worth checking out. This is one of my favourite Bill Wither's songs, second, for me, only to "Grandma's Hands"......Anyways, I like this arrangement by Selah Sue and Ronny Mosuse. Check it out: "Ain't No Sunshine"
