[image: image.png] The Attitude with Arnie Arnesen opening thoughts: a part of a poem by Mary Oliver and the lyrics from Kindness producers: Dave Scott and Stephanie Collins Chloé LaCasse (the best of the attitude) streaming live at wnhnfm.org noon & 7pm EST on the dial-94.7FM Concord NH podcasts available at podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/attitude-with-arnie-arnesen/id1634055179 opening thoughts*:* What can I say that I have not said before? So I’ll say it again. The leaf has a song in it. Stone is the face of patience. Inside the river there is an unfinishable story and you are somewhere in it and it will never end until all ends.
Take your busy heart to the art museum and the chamber of commerce but take it also to the forest. The song you heard singing in the leaf when you were a child is singing still.
(from, “What Can I Say”)” ― Mary Oliver Kindness by Mark Hayes
the original text of “Kindness,” written by Hayes, seeks to answer the question, “How then shall we live, especially in a world that seems so dysfunctional?” The answer: live with kindness, courage and compassion. When we are joined as one in our pursuit of these values, we can make a lasting impact. To quote Margaret Mead, “Never underestimate the ability of a small group of committed individuals to change the world.” The text is intentionally not sacred, rather universal in its appeal. Imagine how the music and message of this work could join a community together in the pursuit of kindness, courage and compassion. It’s what the world needs.. now. part one: Alex Sammon Slate features writer How Mahmoud Khalil First Glimpsed His Son One heartbreaking afternoon inside an ICE facility in a remote corner of Louisiana. part two: Michael Tomasky is the editor of *The New Republic* Donald Trump’s Biggest, Dumbest Lie Is … *Really* Big and *Really* Dumb The president is peddling hot nonsense on what tariffs can do for America—and the person he’s conned the most seems to be himself. Elon Musk Is an Evil Piece of Garbage—and an A-Level Fraud Too He is stupid. He is incompetent. He is cruel. He is sinister. And people will die because of what he’s done. -Listen online at www.wnhnfm.org/live.
