Dots, I though the other day about not thinking of the world in its entirety, but thinking of the world on the tiny patch of ground we inhabit at any given moment. I thought about it because my daughter often complains when i talk to strangers, or smile and wave at people I don't know, or compliment a person's dog or baby....you know me so you know what I mean. Anyway, I think that if you meet a hostile person and respond w/ kindness, your little patch of hostile turf may become less hostile. And maybe if we can turn each patch loving, a little at a time we'll end up w/ a loving whole. You think?
