A Question to A Four Year Old
During dinner, we had a 'small talk conversation' when we asked our 4-year-old Lola: "Lola, who do you love the most? Mum, Dad, or someone else?"
She promptly replied, "I don't want to make a choice. I love everybody! Sometimes people do things I do not like, but I like them still."
I'm usually the one to respond very quickly, but I was speechless after this major lesson.
Sometimes there is a great teacher, an avatar, very near me but when I'm not really paying attention, I miss the opportunity for a very precious lesson.

Walking the walk
I was taking a walk yesterday and was angry because of all the garbage beside the road. And after about 5 miles I thought, "I can stay angry or I can do something". I went to a local pub and asked for a garbage bag. They asked me what I needed it for and we had a very inspiring conversation.
I walked back the same way and collected all the junk I saw. Very positive reactions from the people passing by and a nice talk with a nice man who offered his garbage container to collect my bag.
I had a wonderful afternoon, filed with kindness for me (walking), my environment (collecting the garbage) and all the people I encountered (by smiling).
Thanks for reading this story and sharing your energy with me !
Warm greetings Ynco, Holland
