First of all, if I’d seen a title like this one, I would have dropped
anything to explore what came next!
In this world of daily extraordinary events, people & possibility,
it is rare to encounter the simple idea of goodness. Stripped
naked, standing on my own feet just as I am, all that’s left is
what is in me of goodness. You, too.
Here’s where I found that phrase, ” unexpected goodness”:
“The healing of our present woundedness may lie in
recognizing and reclaiming the capacity we all have to
heal each other, the enormous power in the simplest of
human relationships, the strength of touch, the blessing
of forgiveness, the grace of someone else taking you
as you are,
and finding in you an unexpected goodness.”

(from John Fox’s book, ‘Poetic Medicine’)

I suspect that goodness is something we find mirrored
in each other, and that recognizing it in others, we find,
in our own claim to that simplicity, a reason to trust.
with love …
