Broken hearts, broken minds, broken people are everywhere. In the wash of life and living, many are left stranded and alone while the tide carries most of us onward.

Christmas approaches fast, already crowding out the less demanding, less greedy holidays. Anyone can feel abandoned in the rush of things. If someone is already struggling to feel whole and at least some part of the world, it can be daunting. Is the answer to be found in drugs? or in insurance covered violence? No. These are spiritual matters, because every person is a spiritual being.

And each relationship, one with another, is a spiritual relationship. Kindness is our most potent tool. The more we like one another, the more we act on our feelings of fellowship, the better the world will be, starting with the person next door.

How can one know what to do? "Treat others as you would want them to treat you." L. Ron Hubbard.
