Kindness

I have witnessed numerous acts of kindness today! From a kind repairman who fixed my heater on his day off, free of charge, to Boy Scouts being gracious when it was discovered their space had been usurped by a gang of choral people, kindness was everywhere. I witnessed many instances during a four-hour rehearsal which combined the Eureka Springs based Celebration Choir and the Berryville High School Encore choral group. These students and adults are bringing their voices together to celebrate the Christmas season with some exciting music on December 8th at the Methodist Church edifice in Eureka. I was particularly moved by a wonderful rendition of Peace Like a River, with Ellen Stephenson accompanying on piano and me on organ. These 45 voices joined to create a symphony of sound which moved us all with its power. Marianne Williamson keeps telling us we must love actively, Jim Young says to love out loud, I say this choir did those things and more to promote the cause of unity and kindness and Love!
