Strong and kind. Kind and strong.

The strength of kindness that keeps standing when challenged. That fights off cynicism. That possesses the energy to keep on shining when darkness threatens to overcome.

The kind of strength that waits for the weary. That feeds off the success of others. That hands the trophy to the weakest member of the team. That is kind to itself.

It’s very hard to have both of these I think. Maybe impossible.

But it feels like it is exactly this kind of strength, this strength of kindness, that the world needs right now.
