Sunday
Gentle
Today’s
theme is a quote from Han Suyin, whose real name is Elizabeth Comber. She was born in China
as Rosalie Matilda Kuanghu Chou. She was a physician and author of both fiction
and non-fiction books. She died in 2012 at age 95.
Gentleness is an interesting thing to
contemplate, especially today. How often do people react to things with
gentleness? How many people go through their life practicing gentleness? Gentleness is a close cousin of kindness,
which has often been a subject of this Sunday blog.
When things aren’t going
the way you’d hoped, practice making gentleness your first reaction. Whether
directed at someone else, or at yourself, even a single dose of gentleness is a powerful
thing.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Motivational Secret #186:
“There is nothing stronger in the
world than gentleness.”

Quote of the Day:
“I learned
that it is the weak who are cruel, and that gentleness is to be expected only
from the strong.”
