Well, no longer posting "one kind action" each day. This doesn't mean it doesn't happen. There is a season for everything, a season to post things, and a season to just do it. (Anonymous actions matter.)
To Review what this Blog is about:
What if we each did one kind action for another each day. Just one kind action. It wouldn't matter if we knew the person. I wouldn't even have to be for a person. It could be for a plant or an animal. If we did this for another person, then that person might remember to do it for another person. And that person for yet another. Soon it would catch on and go all around the world. You can start in your neighborhood, or with the person beside you now. Just "one kind action." Check it out, it can't hurt. It's non-competitive. No one is in competition with kindness, If you have found you don't know where to go next at your school, in your church, on your Quest, or even on your path of spirituality, just do one kind action for another each day, and see what happens. The hardest part is to remember to do it! Thank you for your "kind action" in reading this far. Be well, and enjoy the ongoing Party on this beautiful Planet of ours called Earth! Have fun.

Joe Bankhead Illustration
This is an illustration Joe did for James's children's story, THE BOY WHO WAS DIVIDED IN HALF.
We left doing more illustrations alone for a few years, but this one really says it all. (It's a very short story.) He did one more for the story. If found, will post it.
(We know that Joe has a huge library of paintings, illustrations, drawings, even a Tarot Card Deck that he designed )
It's posted here on James's (unrelated) blog..."One Kind Action"...it's was just easiest to post it this way
Thank you
One Kind Action #27
Why not start posting on Blogger again.
(oh yeah they are tearing it up on the other
blog--of the same title--since last year)
Okay, here goes:
Stopped the car at night so a woman could cross the road.
(an officer zoomed by in the other lane)
(OKA?)

One Kind Action 23
A Jack Russel wanted some attention in the neighbor's backyard. I took some time out to kick the soccer ball.
(Is that a kindness?)
:)
Wow, haven't been here in awhile, have I? I've been posting One Kind Action (OKA-When Enlightenment isn't enough) on this sort of groupie site called, Too Cool to Party--not its real name. Why is it a groupie site? I don't know, ask Ken Wilber. It was actually a very cool site until he showed up.
Maybe it's just my mood. Don't mean to bite the hand that feeds. But I mean, all these people looking at my posts for a couple days and commenting, "Wow, can't wait to send in one kind action each week", and then that's the last of them.
The hardest part about doing one kind action for another each day, is remembering to do it.
It does get to be a bit of chore, finding the time to write even one kind action down on their Too Cool to Party/backslash/"pod"/backslash/site, each week, with absolutely no one responding in kind. Especially since the kindest of actions are...

That means...no words

One Kind Action 2
The next door neighbor was out of town
and mail was stacked up in her mailbox.
Without her asking me to, I placed her mail
inside her porch in a safe place, and placed
the junk mail in the recycle boxes. I called
her and told her I had done this for her. She
thanked me and said that she was on her way
back home and would in arrive in a few hours.
Oh, well. It seems a kindness. A kindness is
something we would do anyway, as the minimum
of being a human being. Ok, here, calling it
one kind action.

One Kind Action 1
Thursday, October, 2006
An ex girlfriend sent a hurtful email.
I wrote one back, but didn't send it.
I thought about it, stopped the reaction from my end,
let the pain pass.
Then I wrote her a kind email, even with a compliment.
I let her know that she was trying to help me, in her way,
and thanked her, wished her well
Thank you
