"Kindness is like snow—
it beautifies everything it covers." 
            — Kahlil Gibran
                                

Let’s be like snow. 

May every kindness we show 
collect and connect 
into one woven piece,
like a blanket of peace
that cools angry heat,

soothes every stress,

and brings out our best. 

May everyone touched 
by this fabric

become increasingly 
kind and respectful, 
gentle and non-judgmental. 

And may every caring intention 
expand like snowflakes
into gestures of kindness 

and acts of love

that sparkle with light
bringing joy and delight
into every heart, every home
across every sea

throughout every land. 

With love and hope,

Charlene
