Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

You know what I find really, really moving?

Whenever someone is kind for no reason, when someone just shows their innate goodness. To me, it's not a

fleeting thing. It's not a passing moment. It is something that lives and lingers for

eternity. And this is not an exaggeration. Kindness, joy, love. We remember these things. It's a bit like the

Maya Angelou quote about how people won't remember what you said or what specifically you did,

but they will remember how you made them feel, what your presence feels like. I have a fable for this today. I absolutely love it. It's called the old woman and the

wine jar. And why not think today about how we can spread more of this, how you can be this to other

people? An old woman found an empty jar which had lately been full of prime old wine

and which still retained the fragrant smell of its former contents. She greedily placed it

several times to her nose and drawing it backwards and forward said, oh, most delicious.

How nice must the wine itself have been when it leaves behind in the very vessel which contained it so sweet a perfume.

The memory of a good deed lives. My friends, have you ever had a teacher who believed in you? Or a friend who

showed up in a time of need, maybe when other friends weren't there for you? Or maybe there was even a

stranger who offered you some kindness in a moment where you're emotional or sad or just needed

a little bit of help. I think if we look back on our lives, we've all had these instances.

Maybe times that we don't even remember the exact situation or even the personal or how it came to be, but we remember that

feeling of being held, being supported and receiving love from another person. Just like the wine

that keeps the lovely fragrance in the jar and the woman keeps smelling it, oh my gosh,

something special happened, Something special is here.

That's what lingers with kind acts. So when you think about it, not only do you relish and

enjoy looking back at kindness that you've received, but are you actively doing this?
