Kindly sharing all you have is one way that I see others loving each other me included. Kindness is a place to begin.
I once had an interesting drive with a new friend of mine. It was in the Northeast USA in early spring just as all was beginning to spring to life at dusk. The tree frogs were singing their beautiful song of LOVE (lol tree frogs only sing to attract and get a mate) and we were driving along a country road. This is when we began to notice thousands of little tree frogs (they are quite tiny) crossing the road.
We did our best to avoid running any of them over. I do have to admit we were expected somewhere and did not have a cell phone so we did inadvertently run a couple over which we felt badly about and asked forgiveness from the overiding Devas associated with tree frogs.
My friend and I discussed how we wished we had had a cell phone because we would have called the people waiting for us to conduct the seminar and let them know we would be late fore we were avoiding tree frogs crossing the road. Our other lament was everything in our society is formed around cars and transportation on the ground. We put out a prayer for a was to transport ourselves that is in harmony with nature and still get from point a to b without undue suffering or inconvenience for human beings.
If we had been someone like Ghandi we may have just stopped the car and waited till dawn when all the tree frogs would be out of the road... or we might have chosen to drive back to town and cancel the seminar... but that would have made us sad because we were really excited about sharing our gifts. So all of these infinite choices were weighing heavily on us... Also during our drive my friend almost ran us off the road and into a tree because she was so vexed about squashing a tree frog... I had the grab the wheel and steer us to safety while praying for the poor tree frogs to hop out of the way and for my safety and my friends safety.
When we reached our destiny, the people waiting wanted to know what took us so long. They shook thier heads and laughed and we were forgiven for our lateness.
We took a more populated route home that was not bordered by trees that host the tree frogs. And I drove home as my friend did not want to be responsible for another tree frogs death. I tried to explain to her they do not live on pine trees.... and on the drive home so she discovered so.
The point here is kindness as best as you are able grows love for others and self and all of creation. This kindness extends to all and the universe lines up to create more kindness.
By the way, this is indeed a true story... LOL such is my beautiful life.
