There were two people who right on felt compassion towards me even without me talking extensively about my situation. They extended their kindness unreservedly to offer me their friendship, the introduction to their families and their business partners and employers as I didn't have a job at that moment.

That warm feeling when someone is so kind to you at the first meeting, that is something I never forget and for me, it is an eternal promise to be there for them always, no matter what. Maybe it is a Balkan thing, maybe not. I remember so many kind people all over the world who were spontaneously kind. My friends Esther and Mona are among those beings who do what they can, whomever they encounter, sharing whatever their hearts and hands have a hold of.

If I want to help Walthamstow residents progress toward improved health and well-being, through the practice of yoga, breathing exercises and meditation, what we practice every Friday in Harmony Hall, I need to make sure this place stays alive!
