By Emily Seate The child stood in the middle of the grocery store aisle, screaming, while the mother searched for something on a shelf nearby, apparently having given up trying to quiet her. A retired teacher (bless them!) happened to be shopping in the next aisle. She pushed her cart toward the scene and bent down to speak directly to the child. We dont do things like that in a store, she whispered. The little girl stopped screaming and went to stand by her mother. When I related this incident to my mother (also a retired teacher). She said that in church, the children who sit in front of her often cant seem to stop fidgeting or talking. Her solution is to put her hand on a childs shoulder. When the child turns around, as he or she always does, my mother just smiles. She says it works every time. I am struck by the wisdom of both these women, and the respect. Out of respect, the teacher, experienced with handling children, spoke directly to the child. She did not blame the mother, or give her advice. My mother does not speak at all, but through her touch and her smile, reminds the child of where he or she is and what is expected in that place. Perhaps these incidents seem insignificant compared to the problems we face daily. Perhaps calling them wise seems foolish. But it is also possible that acts of caring affect both the giver and the receiver, and that investing in kindness has its own rewards. In the coming weeks, I hope you will notice how the people around you show kindness to friends and strangers. And dont forget to see these qualities in yourself. I never want to be old enough to miss a miracle. (from Foolish Wisdom) Emily Seate is an award winning author and observer of people.
