Kindness is in our power, even when fondness is not - Samuel Johnson

Variations :

Kindness can be practiced even when fondness eludes.

That annoying kid you can't stop cursing at becomes that annoying person you don't think about.

Smile genuinely in genuine quietness.

Cupping the bug, throwing out the window, using nets, not killer sprays.

which want wanted which wasted ? / living in the past

What words were written
never known never know
thoughts toil, tumble through,
cough clamour coil crash

which want wanted which wasted ?
erratic energy expended, end-lessly examined

On Gentleness

Goodness Emanates,
No Theatrics,
Limber Esthetics,
Never Effacing,
Serving Strength.

Listening to Coke Studio's version of Rangbati Song

Life courses now through veins,
through every pore, hair and fibre,
through all times resting in the ashes
In to this mile marker of this journey ...

Bande Utkala Janani :)
