Noun: KINDNESSThe quality of being friendly, generous and considerate.
Such simple words- clear and concise, uncomplicated. Something we can all do easily. No, I’m not going to start to lecture about how we have all become haters and bullies. You’ve heard all about it, what with the crazy politics and terrible events of the world. I don’t have to outline any of it. you already know the whole sad story. Instead, I focus on the simple definition of the word “Kindness”…and ask us all to think about what it means, and to add it to our everyday life. Positive, uplifting and full of decency.
This brings to mind the lyrics of an old gypsy song a performer used to sing at the Renaissance Faire called Beggars to God:
Be friends to each other…
Forgive one another…
See God in each other…
Be Beggars to God

Nice! One correction: “Beggars to God” is not “an old gypsy song.” It was written by Bob Franke, a marvelous New England songwriter, in 1983. The “Gypsy Davy” referenced in the first verse is a shoutout to a very old series of ballads, where a well-born women falls in love with and runs away with “Gypsy Davy,” a poorborn, lower class, probably member of the Tinkers or “gypsies.” These people were much scorned by polite society. (When the song came to our country, it morphed into “Blackjack Davy.” Blackjacks were black sailors, so in American versions, one member of an oppressed class in America was substituted for a member of an oppressed class in Great Britain.). The point of the song, though is a simple one: love is all that matters.
