Thank you for reminding me of Natalie Merchant's wonderful song! I listened to it, and then I listened again, and then I asked my husband if we had the CD - and we do. That's being popped into the car's sound system right now. A "simple sentiment" to carry us through some dark times...

Thank you, your voice is a steady, calming, honest and trustworthy one that I look forward to reading. It's an amazing gift to speak the truth of what our country is facing while keeping the humanity and hope alive - the tie that binds. Namaste.

Coincidence or synchronicity? I hadn't listened to Nathalie Merchant in years, yet yesterday searched "Kind and Generous." It flooded my heart with warmth as did your post today. Thank you for a lifetime of reasoned perspective and rational voice.

Perfect! With my arm in a sling while a broken bone is healing I have had the pleasure of saying thank you many times over as friends picked up groceries, drove me to appointments, brought over a cup of coffee and stayed for a chat. Until one’s a recipient of such generosity from people with busy lives it’s hard to wrap your head around how much a simple act of kindness means to the recipient. This forum is a gift too. So THANK YOU!!

for some reason, the word 'bound' in this song riveted me with a sense of responsibility, that we are all compelled on some level to thank others for what we can never truly repay but nonetheless owe...there is a power and a call to act in that word...'you know I'm bound, I'm bound to thank you for it'... oh how words matter!
