- Tao Te Ching: Humility Is PowerWhen we think of humility, we often picture someone who is meek, small in stature, sub- missive, or powerless. How- ever, true humility is far from weakness. It is a divine quality that carries the power to move mountains. Throughout his- tory, many great leaders have demonstrated the strength that comes from humility. Examples include Moses, David, and, in the 18th century, Bhai Bachit- tar Singh. One of the clearest demonstrations of humility's power can be found in some- thing we encounter every day: water. The supreme goodness is like water.

At first, it seemed like just another novel, but it quickly became captivat- ing, and I couldn't put the book down. The reading experience felt meditative because of how peaceful and deeply reflective the writing was. The emotions, conversations, and struggles felt incredibly real, which made it more powerful and unforgetta- ble. The story follows Ella Ru- binstein, a woman who feels trapped and disconnected from her life, while also exploring the extraordinary bond between Rumi and Shams of Tabriz. I especially liked how relatable Ella's character was-her strug- gles, imperfections, and confu- sion felt human and authentic.

On April 4, 2026, we had the opportunity to volunteer and take part in the Edmonton chap- ter's HKL Walk. It was a mean- ingful experience that reminded us how much small acts of kind- ness can impact people
Our walk began at the Faculty Club at the University of Alber- ta and continued to the Legisla- ture Grounds. Along the way, we handed out flowers, spoke with community members, and shared HKL's message of com- passion, positivity, and equality. Even though handing someone a flower seemed simple, it made a real difference to many of the people we met.
Some people were surprised to receive flowers from strangers, while others stopped to talk with us about kindness, com- munity, and spreading positivi- ty. Seeing people smile, laugh, and feel seen reminded us how even brief moments of connec- tion can brighten someone's day.
Volunteering for this initiative reminded us about the impor- tance of giving back to the com- munity. Many people are deal- ing with stress, loneliness, or personal struggles. Taking time to genuinely connect with oth- ers can truly make a difference.
The HKL Walk wasn't just about handing out flowers or meeting people; it was about creating connections, uplifting others, and encouraging people to carry kindness forward in their own lives.

After the class, HKL members led a short seminar in- troducing the message behind Humility, Kindness, and Love, followed by a guided medita- tion and a collective affirmation practice.
Together, the group repeated af- firmations such as, "We are Hu- mility, we are Kindness, we are Love."

The response from the seniors was incredibly heartfelt. Many
felt more positive by repeating the affirmations and hoped to incorporate them into future wellness classes. Others men- tioned wanting to share the practices with their families and encouraged HKL members to return for future sessions with the broader community.
