There Is Enough Beauty

Sharing the Joy
“I was walking down the street in New York City one day, when I heard a woman’s voice saying, ‘I was very sick all winter.’ Intrigued, I turned around and saw the woman handing a street person, sitting on the sidewalk, some money. She went on talking to him. ‘I had pneumonia, and every time I started to get better, I’d have a relapse. Now I am finally really getting better, and I just wanted to share the joy.’”
- Sharon Salzberg, The Force of Kindness
