Lisa Ray Instagram – This is one of my favourite poems, by one of my favourite poets, reposted by one of my favourite humans 🙏🏼 so thought I would pay it forward. 
Repost from @amutedstory using @RepostRegramApp – Kindness
Naomi Shihab Nye – 1952-

Before you know what kindness really is
you must lose things,
feel the future dissolve in a moment
like salt in a weakened broth.
What you held in your hand,
what you counted and carefully saved,
all this must go so you know
how desolate the landscape can be
between the regions of kindness.
How you ride and ride
thinking the bus will never stop,
the passengers eating maize and chicken
will stare out the window forever.

Before you learn the tender gravity of kindness
you must travel where the Indian in a white poncho
lies dead by the side of the road.
You must see how this could be you,
how he too was someone
who journeyed through the night with plans
and the simple breath that kept him alive.

Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside,
you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing.
You must wake up with sorrow.
You must speak to it till your voice
catches the thread of all sorrows
and you see the size of the cloth.
Then it is only kindness that makes sense anymore,
only kindness that ties your shoes
and sends you out into the day to gaze at bread,
only kindness that raises its head
from the crowd of the world to say
It is I you have been looking for,
and then goes with you everywhere
like a shadow or a friend.
.
Because I’m feeling grateful, and it’s a poetry kind of day. Wherever you are, please find a way to extend a helping hand ❤️

Lisa Ray Instagram – Repost from @boundpodcasts using @RepostRegramApp – Did you like what you just heard? This was just a teaser. * “It was an attempt to piece together and maybe marry the two worlds that I was always straddling, and that were always kind of, you know, existing in parallel – my public life and my private life.” *

On our second episode of Books and Beyond with Bound, Lisa Ray talks about the deeply personal and unusual trajectory of her book. After publicly announcing her diagnosis with multiple myeloma and chronicling her experiences on a cancer blog, she was offered a book deal to write a cancer memoir. After completing her first draft and submitting her manuscript to her editors, she had an instinctive reaction and ended up withdrawing the manuscript. *

Lisa tells us the story of how she realized she had a bigger vision for the book, that there was no reason to do it unless it aligned with who she was and what she wanted to achieve. So she sat on it for years and years. On this episode, she takes us through every detail of her writing journey and the stages of finally completing her book. *

Tune in for our second episode of Books & Beyond with Bound, a podcast where we talk to some of the best writers in India to find out what makes them tick. *
