You are not called to fix the rain or stop the storm. You are called to love, to be kind. After you’ve done what you can, it’s all right to simply watch their storm blow by. Kindness is the storm that will heal the world. Be kind.
In the end, all of this drama and pain will fade away. Love will remain. Why not focus on love now? Kindness is love in action.
Take a moment. How do you feel? Is this feeling real? Is it true? Is it kind? What do you need right now?

Is it dark out? Is it bright? Depends on where you focus. Kindness is the light.
