Looking upon you with loving kindness

When I am among any of the wonderful people on this planet, I am hoping that they can see in me someone that is exuding loving kindness. I am noticing many things as I look around, and truly that people have so much to offer us is one of those things I see.

Most people are focused on what they are doing with the people they are with, if any.  Occasionally, they notice me.  When they do I hope they see loving kindness.  No matter what they may think about me and my expression, that is what I feel.

If they are being silly, I feel that.  If they are being serious, I feel that.  If they are quiet and in their own world, I feel that.  If they are angry, I feel that.  If they are prejudiced, I feel that. If they are smiling and laughing, I feel that.  If they are happy, I feel that.  If they are confused, I feel that. If they are working, I feel that.  If they are sad, I feel that.  If they are vulnerable, I feel that.  If they are strong, I feel that.

I know the potential each and everyone has to make a wonderful contribution to our world.  That is what makes me feel this loving kindness.  Do good.
