I believe one of the greatest attributes a human can have, is kindness.
Kindness to other human beings, to animals, to Mother Earth.
I do my utmost to be kind to all living creatures - and staying in the country these past few weeks has taught me so much about people's kindness to animals especially. The other day my friend stopped, backed up and pulled her car to the side of the road to help an echidna that may have been hit by a vehicle - and was distraught to find it had already died. Most people would simply drive-by... And the love she gives to her dogs and her horses is extraordinary, as is the love she gets back from them of course.
These past few weeks of staying with her have taught me a lot, and I will be forever grateful.
