Kindness by Naomi Shihab Nye, spoken by Kim Rosen

"Kindness" by Naomi Shihab Nye, from the book "Words Under Words: Selected Poems". This is the poem that saved my sanity when I lost all my money to Bernard Madoff in the Fall of 2008. The story of that miracle is featured in my book "Saved by a Poem: The Transformative Power of Words." Video by Dan Drasin.

This is a painfully real outlook on dealing with loss on your way to finding the ultimate kindness. Those aren't words one usually finds paired, but in this short but deep speech one can truly understand how losing what we feel is precious can make us kinder people, more empathetic, and surely, more human.
