You pulled me in with this beautiful (and suspenseful) story, Chao! I also liked that you weaved in the Kevin Kelly piece from a few days ago that I liked too. Plus the final bow with your reference–and reverence–to the Write Hearted story gym(s) where we all get to practice to receive and give generosity and kindness 💗
Thanks, Brigette! Yes, it was a little surreal telling the story and then realizing we were also having a kindness moment, it's turtles all the way down!
A beautifully crafted story and thoughtful takeaway to absorb Chao. Thanks for bringing this experience to us today, and for the intrepidness of your's that decided to go skiing, to help a stranger, to take a daring right turn, and to let the kindness in.
You are spot on Chao. How can we give when there is no one to receive? And when one receives, it blesses both the receiver AND the giver. That is definitely the economy of kindness.
…good stuff, like really gooood stuff…

This is exquisite, Chao. It’s also a unique perspective. Really nicely done. Great message.

Thanks, Rick - I could picture you gently by my side exhorting me to provide more details and make the moment feel more vivid
you can't just start the article with "the day before the fall," I was so scared!!!!
Aiya, need some drama drama tension, right?

Thanks Dana - Economy of Kindness was my initial title!
