"Before you know what kindness really is
you must lose things
feel the future dissolve in a moment
like salt in a weakened broth...
...Then it is only kindness that makes sense any more
only kindness that ties your shoes
And sends you out into the day to mail letters
and purchase bread...
...only kindness that raises its head
from the crowd of the world to say
It is I you have been looking for,
and then goes with you everywhere
like a shadow or a friend."
--Naomi Shihab Nye, Words Under the Words
