Like
most of us, I have known some people who inspired me by just their gentle
presence – there facility for somehow spreading mellowness around simply by
being present. They don’t necessarily “do” anything – don’t speak about
gentleness or show off their gentleness or even seem particularly peaceful.
They simply, I guess, spread out gentleness the way a soft summer day spreads
out warmth. These people carry kindness with then like a light that constantly
shines when they are with us. Their understanding seems immeasurable, as if
nothing can disturb it, and their compassion comes with a feeling of vastness
and serenity. They bring the sweet-temperedness of a soft shift in the weather,
sunshine after days of clouds. When they’re with us, their presence alone
brings mildness and mercy.
