I'm taking a class on organizing for change, and our group decided to organize around doing random acts of kindness in Harvard Square this afternoon -- tough sell but eventually it worked. :)
We approached a homeless guy sitting in front of the metro stop, and started talking to him about his thoughts on using compassion as a force against violence. He shared some really amazing stories about traveling the United States, never being in want for food or water and always giving to others when he was able to. And as I gave him a cup of coffee that we had bought for him, he pulled out this sign from his pocket that said, "Seeking Human Kindness"!

I took a photo in Harvard Square of a man holding a "Seeking Human Kindness" sign, it will be hanging in the Senate Building for the next year, I thought you might be interested to know that.
