About 9 months ago, I discovered Zentangle. It was about that time that I also found a Ben's Bell hanging from a tree near my local library. The mission of Ben's Bell is simple, admirable, and embraces humanity...
The mission of Ben's Bells is to inspire, educate, and motivate people to
realize the impact of intentional kindness, and to empower individuals
to act according to that awareness, thereby strengthening ourselves, our
relationships and our communities.
Ben's Bell was my muse to start this project. (One of the contributors to this project has also found a bell.) I felt that I could contribute to spreading kindness, intentionally, by creating and placing Tangled Little Cards in random locations for people to find. Since January, when the project was started, Tangled Little Cards have traveled the world and people have reported back the profound impact of finding one has had on them. I feel my mission, in support of Ben's mission, is being accomplished.
Well, the other day, the most remarkable and profound thing happened. I found another beautiful Ben's Bell! I can't begin to express my feelings; amazement (I mean, really, what are the odds?!), joy, surprise, gratification... By finding that bell, did I receive a "thank you, carry on" or was it just karma?
The first bell, actually found by my daughter, is hanging in my mother's most beautiful garden. This bell is hanging on my patio in remembrance that intentional kindness has some serious power and influence!
