The HKL Time Vol 1 # 5

The sounds of nearby car horns supporting us, strangers smiling from the sidewalks, accom- panied by echoes of the HKL anthem, set an environment flooded with the values of hu- mility, kindness, and love. The Humility, Kindness, and Love walks united people from all walks of life as they fostered a simple yet powerful message through the Tower District and the Art of Life Healing Garden in Fresno. At every step, our inner values resonated with the hearts of onlookers, creating moments of genuine connection and contemplation throughout the areas.

In Tower District, a group of performers sang beautiful lyr- ics embodying our inner values, grounding us in the present mo- ment, untouched by thoughts. To close both walks, everyone closed their eyes, sat in the pres- ent, and lovingly sang, "I am humility, I am kindness, I am love," creating a lasting impact on everyone's hearts.

The Fresno community was welcomed to the HKL move- ment and the idea of walking around town to spread it. For instance, participants walked through the streets, people re- sponded to the banners with smiles and waves, creating a joyous environment. Some even said they enjoyed the "good vibes" and that it "brought happiness to my heart," show- casing the impact it had on the Fresno community.

All in all, everyone in the Tow- er District and Woodward Park area loved the message being spread in the HKL Walks, and some even joined along to fin- ish the walk with us or stayed for the music/meditation at the end. Whether it was passing bikers, people walking their dogs, drivers waiting at a red light, families relaxing or play- ing near the walk, everyone joined in some way to support

One of the people wrote her ex- perience of what she felt as this event took place;

The HKL walk was not just a walk for me, but a heart-to-heart connection. When flowers and cards were handed out to every- one, it felt as if the flower was actually a piece of my heart. We were offering this small, heart- felt flower to everyone we came in contact with. The atmosphere was filled with immense joy that even I couldn't pinpoint exactly what these feelings were. The joy felt like we were all floating in the air, with feelings of open- ness and laughter. We also began to notice everyone's eyes were shining as we exchanged humil- ity, kindness, and love with each other, be it through words or just smiles on our faces. Everyone's faces seemed to have a glow to them as if transformed by these feelings of HKL. Overall, it was such a blessed and magical day, and we felt like this walk touched many hearts along the way. Describing this experience feels short, but it was an expe- rience that was something to remember.

OF PLAC

We ended the evening with a small yet powerful meditation where everyone focused within and repeated these words:

"We are humility, We are kind- ness, We are love."

The silence after this medita- tion was profound; the silence of those moments was felt so deeply. The whole atmosphere had an air of peace surrounding us. The focus was there in that moment, and we couldn't hear the cars passing by or the chil- dren playing in the background. When the time came to depart, many left with gratitude. It felt like a blessing to just experi- ence and to be part of the HKL movement. A experience that felt so much bigger than the lit-
