You don’t know the waves that you’re creating,
You don’t know whose life you might be saving.
Two short lines that pack a powerful punch from October Rose’s new song Kinder. The country duo believes like many, that music speaks. And right now, we need to listen.
But the message does not just stop there. As each chorus turns and verse goes by, we are reminded just how simple kindness can be, and the many forms that it comes in. It might mean a wave to your neighbor, a smile to a stranger, or a simple phone call to friend letting them know that they have not been forgotten.
When the world has fallen dark be the lighter
It’s times like these that serve as our reminder
The sun may be behind the clouds
But there’s no better time than now
To be the one that shines a little brighter
And teach us all to be a little kinder
Music is truly powerful. This song instantly eased my mind and allowed me to reflect and soak in every word. A wave of calmness came over me. And for the first time in a long time, I found myself just listening. Not thinking, not worrying, only listening.
How we choose to act in the present, only creates a better future. So today, be kinder, because
One word, one prayer, can make a ripple everywhere.
