Along the cobblestone streets of Miguel de Allende, I am struck by the kindness I see – between parents and children, lovers, friends, old and young. I know there is no panacea, and there are angry and thoughtless, wounded people everywhere, but it seems that the more I notice acts of love, the more I see of them. I plan to continue capturing photos of people reaching out to one another, touching, caring, connecting. I hope you too will start noticing this wherever you are, and be inspired to share these stories of human decency.
Aysha, these are beautiful photos! And I love your invitation to keep our eyes open for acts of kindness.
I’m across the world from you in Chiang Mai, Thailand, but am also struck by the gentle spirit of the people here and how so many go out of their way to make sure that I am taken care of. I wrote some reflections on that here: http://liberatedlifeproject.com/2011/01/the-transformative-power-of-travel/
much love to you from across the planet!
Aysha, Always spread the positive! It helps so much in a world like ours. We MUST see the positive, seek the positive and perform the positive! Keep letting all of us know about your wonderful experiences! Amy
So sweet. Especially love that chubby-cheeked baby. I can almost reach thru the photo and pinch them!
Aysha, love your impressions of San Miguel de Allende. Like you, I was first there more than 30 years ago! I have the opportunity to visit again for two months (April/May) and would love to ask a few questions. If you have the time, please email me: diane.beck at yahoo dot com. Thanks!
Aysha,
I love these pictures and the whole idea of looking for and finding these acts of love. It´s a beautiful thing to focus one´s attention on. It´s a smile on one´s soul.
Diane, How wonderful! I’m happy to answer any questions I might. Please email me at inhabityourdreams@gmail.com – looking forward to hearing from you!
A smile on one’s soul, a song in one’s heart, a dance within one’s body, an affirmation of connection in one’s mind. Muchas gracias!
Thanks Jann, This is a real compliment coming from you vast photographic skills at http://www.BaroqueSicily.com!
Amy, You are so right and thank you for keeping up with this, with me. It’s been a year, as you well know, and I am so gladdened by the positive, joyful moving on with life I have witnessed in your beautiful spirit! I know out DT would love that too! xxoxx
Maia, What joy to both be having and sharing such grand adventures. Love back at ya!
